The SubGig™ specification defines a simple and easy to use protocol to be used at very low
frequency non-ISM bands (such as 315MHz) for basic monitoring and control applications. The
purpose of operating at very low frequency (non-ISM) bands is to maximize range and minimize
power consumption. The RBM101 BridgeBee module described in this document is an
implementation of the SubGig™ standard, and can not only achieve thousands of feet of range
but also penetrate buildings and other structures much better than higher frequency ISM bands
while consuming minimal power. The tradeoff in loss of available bandwidth is acceptable for
most sensing and control applications since most IoT devices have very low data rates.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States allows for basic monitoring
and control at these low frequency bands as long as a number of limitations are maintained. The
SubGig™ protocol is designed to work within that framework and create a path for FCC
certification of the final product.
The RBM101 uses the SubGig™ protocol "under the hood" and references to the specification in
this document are on an as-needed basis. Although the SubGig™ protocol is designed to be very
simple and easy to use, much of the protocol is abstracted in and hidden in the RBM101 for ease
of use. For more information, please see the published SubGig™ specification.
