RF Transceiver Modules

Product Description

The RC11XX(HP) / RC25XX(HP) / RC17xx(HP)-TM RF Transceiver Modules are compact surface-
mounted high performance modules for wireless mesh networking applications. The modules feature a
fully embedded Tinymesh™ application and multi-hop protocol stack with automatic network forming
and self-healing features. The embedded Tinymesh™ application layer supports a full duplex UART,
Analogue- Pulse- and Digital inputs, as well as PWM and Digital outputs. Serial application data entered
on the UART port is transported automatically to the desired destination node without further interaction
from any external processor. The modules are completely shielded, available as Low Power, High
Power and Long Range Ultra Narrow Band versions, and pre-certified for operation in license free bands
from 169 MHz to 2.4 GHz.
