RF Transceiver Modules

AC4790 Transceiver
High-performance AC4790 transceivers utilize AeroComm's "masterless" protocol, allowing each transceiver to communicate with any other in-range transceiver for true peer-to-peer operation.

Using field-proven 900MHz FHSS technology that requires no additional site licensing, AC4790s resist interference, enable co-located system operation, increase output power and maintain data integrity.

AC4790's protocol features a dynamic addressing scheme, which simplifies node-to-node communication. The transceiver identifies the most efficient transmission path, so OEMs can design routing sequences that optimize the RF network. This makes AC4790s ideal for a wide range of industrial applications that must rely on smooth, constant data flow.

• True peer-to-peer protocol.
• Small form factor: 1.65 x 1.9 inches.
• API commands to control packet routing.
• Software-controlled sensitivity.
• Remote radio discovery.
• Variable output power: 5mW to 1000mW.

AC4868 Transceiver
The AC4868 transceiver is designed to provide OEMs with license-free communications over long distances, this transceiver becomes the essential, affordable alternative to products operating in the saturated 433MHz band. The transceiver is the only fully certified 868MHz transceiver to deliver 250mW of output power, ideal for highly industrial European applications where reliable data deployment is crucial.

Priced at hundreds of dollars less than competing solutions, The AC4868 transceiver supports a host of communication architectures: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and peer-to-peer. The transceiver dynamic serial firmware manages difficult over-the-air issues such as error detection, multipath concerns, link verification and interference.

AC4868 transceiver modules are socket-compatible with AeroComm's 900MHz or 2.4GHz transceivers, enabling OEMs to design once and subsequently interchange radios to accommodate new markets, regulations and environments. Full "CE" approval allows use of the transceiver in both mobile and fixed installations without further licensing requirements.

Transceiver Features:

• Fully ETSI and CE approved for Europe.
• Seamless cable-to-transceiver replacement.
• High 868MHz data rate: 115.2 Kbps.
• Small form factor: 1.65 x 1.9 inches.
• Operates in –40ºC to 80ºC temperatures.
• 250mW enables up to 15-kilometer range.

ZB2430 ZigBee Module
AeroComm's new ZB2430 zigbee module, based on Texas Instruments' leading edge 802.15.4 SoC & Z-Stack technology, is one of the most powerful ZigBee compliant solutions on the market today. The ZB2430 provides OEMs with industry-leading 2.4 GHz module performance in low power consumption, integration, long range, features and functionality.

ZB2430 Zigbee module is ideal for power-restricted or battery-powered applications. Its receive and power-down mode performance offers OEMs the lowest power consumption of any comparable transceiver module. Since the ZB2430 zigbee module works in the ISM band, the module can be used globally—allowing OEMs to standardize on one platform for their end products. Although the IEEE 802.15.4 (PHY & MAC) and ZigBee stack are industry standards, AeroComm's flexible "ZigBee Your Way" approach allows OEMs to customize a solution that best meets their application needs.

With the embedded Z-stack firmware, ZB2430 is aimed squarely at secure, low-power, mesh network applications. Modules are offered as Coordinators, Routers or End Devices. Network scan, auto-configuration, dynamic routing, discovery, security...all enable the Mesh network. Additionally, the 128kB of embedded Flash provides room for larger, more complex application profiles. The GUI based utility and test software allow an OEM to easily configure and optimize.

AeroComm provides a complete development environment to help you integrate and test RF communication in a matter of minutes. Each design kit includes 2.4GHz or 900MHz transceiver models and accessories, plus a full support package with personal assistance to aide:

ConnexLink^TM
ConnexLink is the most flexible, affordable RF serial data device available for both consumers and OEMs. The system can be set up in minutes to enable local-area communication in industrial, commercial and office applications. Because it uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, it provides reliable communication at up to 115.2 Kbps even in RF-hostile environments.

ConnexLink's industrial-grade enclosure contains a robust 2.4GHz or 900MHz transceiver. Each ConnexLink communication system requires a central server node and any number of remote client nodes that operate in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations. Users can create multiple sub-networks by assigning unique radio addresses to specific device groups.

ConnexLinks are approved for operation by FCC (USA), IC (Canada) and CE (Europe). No additional certification is required.

• Replace cable in new equipment installations as well as retrofitting.
  
• Quickly move RS232 links from machine to machine without costly wiring.
  
• Set up equipment where it best serves customers — retail stores, service stations, events, etc.
  
• Upload data to your PC without getting up from the chair.
  
• Simply attach to the serial ports of each RS232 device.
