Radiocrafts has launched what it claims are the smallest RF modules in the industry. In only half an inch square (3,23 cm²) footprint the company has integrated a complete high performance, low power, two-way radio solution with an embedded protocol.

Components & System Design has recently been appointed the exclusive distributor for Radiocrafts in South Africa. According to the company, the shielded modules, which are designed for surface mounting, measure 12,7 x 25,4 x 3,5 mm. Data buffering, addressing and error check are all handled by the embedded proprietary protocol, and a standard UART serial bus is the interface to the host.

The series of six products includes RC1040, RC1080 and RC1090. These products offer the lowest power consumption and lowest cost. The RC1040 and RC1080 are designed for operation in the license free bands in Europe at 433 and 868 MHz, whereas RC1090 operates under FCC regulations for use in the USA and Canada at 902-928 MHz.

The RC1240, RC1280 and RC1290 are the high performance counterparts that give longer range and improved performance. RC1240 and RC1280 meet the regulations for 25 kHz narrow band systems in Europe, required, for example, in wireless alarm systems. RC1290 is a high performance narrow-band alternative to the more complex FH systems widely used in the US today.
