'World's first' sub-1 GHz ZigBee PRO module

6 August 2008 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

MeshNetics has launched the ZigBit 900, said to be the world’s first RF module for the sub-1 GHz band that uses the ZigBee PRO feature set. The new IEEE 802.15.4-2006 module is designed to operate in the ISM bands 915 MHz and 868 MHz.

The ultra-compact module features an exceptional sensitivity of -110 dBm and output power of 11 dBm that result in a line-of-sight range of up to 6 kilometres. The power consumption stays at a remarkably low level: less than 6 μA in sleep mode, 11 mA in receive mode, and 26 mA in transmit mode, which translates into many years of battery life. By operating in the ISM bands 863-870 MHz and 902-928 MHz, the ZigBit 900 offers regional alternatives to the global 2,4 GHz band where the channel characteristics of the lower frequencies can result in performance advantages in certain environments.

The module ships with BitCloud, a robust 802.15.4-2006/ZigBee PRO feature set used for all the 2,4 GHz MeshNetics modules. Supporting self-healing, self-organising mesh networks and up to 1 Mbps data rates, the BitCloud stack optimises network traffic while minimising power consumption. Customers can choose between the C API for embedded application development and SerialNet – a ZigBee manufacturer specific profile based on BitCloud and supporting a serial AT-command interface.
