Wireless mesh module approved for USA and Europe

The DM1800 embedded wireless mesh networking module has received certification from both the US Federal Communications Commission and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

RF Monolithics has revealed that both the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) have certified the company's newly announced DM1800 embedded wireless mesh networking module.

With this regulatory approval, the DM1800 is now available to provide connectivity in wireless sensor network applications in the USA and Europe.

RF Monolithics' DM1800 module is an economical embedded solution for mesh networking applications of up to several hundred nodes.

It incorporates several features that make it particularly easy to set up and operate a wireless mesh network.

The DM1800 provides ultra-low-power operation while communicating up to 200m between nodes in a mesh network.

The DM1800 module is claimed to provide the best combination of price, coverage, and low-power operation currently available in a commercial wireless mesh networking product.

"The DM1800 was designed using our many years of experience with low power wireless connectivity solutions", said Wayne Stargardt, Director of Marketing for RF Monolithics' Wireless Systems Group.

"This design expertise, together with our years of guiding devices through regulatory approval around the world, helped us achieve certification with both agencies quickly and concurrently".

RF Monolithics announced the DM1800 module in November 2005 as the latest addition to its family of embedded wireless modules and will be shipping samples of the module in January 2006.
