Telegesis ETRX2 ZigBee modules are among the first products to feature in the new wireless and radio frequency products section of the RS catalogue.

Telegesis' latest ETRX2 ZigBee modules have been selected by RS Components for inclusion in a new wireless and radio frequency products section being introduced to their catalogue They are the first Telegesis products to be available from this industry leading catalogue

The ETRX2 modules are low cost, low power transceivers that can be embedded in a wide range of devices to produce self-organising, self-healing wireless meshes.

Incorporating the new single chip EM250 ZigBee system from Ember, they offer developers a simple means for bringing advanced wireless-enabled products to market quickly without the need for RF experience and expertise.
