DESCRIPTION
CEL's MeshConnect™ Module Series provides high performance
and low cost Sub-G modules for a broad range of wireless net-
works. The MeshConnect certified and qualified modules enable
customers to accelerate time to market by greatly reducing design
and certification phases of development.
CEL's MeshConnect™ Sub-G modules (868/900MHz) are based
on the Silicon Labs SoC ICs (single-chip solutions). Each IC con-
sists of an RF transceiver with baseband modem, a hard-wired
MAC and an embedded 8051 microcontroller with internal RAM
(4kB) and Flash (64kB) memory. The device provides numer-
ous general-purpose I/O pins and peripheral functions such as
timers and UARTs.
The MeshConnect Sub-G modules have 2 different output powers
(+12dBm and +19dBm). They provide a reliable transmission, to
reduce the number of nodes in a network. They are especially
useful for open outdoor applications where the nodes are physi-
cally far apart. The higher power Modules have an outstanding
118dB link budget ensuring high quality connections even in
harsh environments.
