Radiocrafts has expanded its IEEE 802.15.4 product line with two new modules, the low cost RC2400 and RC2400HP.
These are IEEE 802.15.4 modules designed for ZigBee PRO, 6LoWPAN and other protocols based on IEEE 802.15.4. A ZigBee PRO-compliant stack is available free of charge. Typical applications include smart meter reading (AMR, AMI, Smart Grid), building automation, healthcare and wireless sensor networks/M2M. Operation at the 2,4 GHz licence free band enables world-wide usage.
The module is a complete RF system solution including a multichannel DSSS radio transceiver and a packet protocol handler. The internal microcontroller holds up to 256 KB of Flash memory and 8 KB of RAM, making room for advanced applications such as ZigBee Smart Energy (SE) compliant solutions. The RC2400HP also includes a range extension LNA and PA with 100 mW output power and this can give up to eight times the range (with line-of-sight) compared to the RC2400.
The compact modules, measuring 12,7 x 25,4 x 3,3 mm, make up a complete RF modem requiring no external components except an antenna. The modules are delivered on tape and reel for efficient volume production.
