Radiometrix has launched the new WFX2 radio transceiver module for industrial applications requiring long range and high reliability. It offers fast switching together with +27 dBm (500 mW) RF power output and ETSI Category 1 (Class 1) receiver performance.
The WFX2 is available for operation in the 458,5–459,5 MHz licence-free industrial/commercial telemetry and telecommand, medical and biological applications band in the UK and Ireland.
This 256-channel module features RX-to-TX switching time of 5 ms, has a receive sensitivity of -118 dBm and can achieve a usable range of over 5 km over open ground. The feature-rich interface offers analog RSSI and both logic level and analog baseband inputs and outputs.
A 4-way internal channel select switch is standard. The compact device (85 x 55 x 13 mm) requires a regulated +5 V d.c. power supply and is re-programmable via microcontroller UART interface, drawing 35 mA in receive and under 400 mA in transmit.
Multiple versions of the product are available: the standard 458 MHz module offers data rates of up to 5 Kbps; the WFX2-458-G variant to be used with external 9600 baud GMSK modem; and a dedicated modem version – the WFZ2 – has an internal M48 modem. A 12,5 kHz narrowband version is also available.
The WFX2 is ideally suited to industrial applications including on-site paging, telecommand tasks, machine control, fast, long-range data modems and robotic/ mechatronic control functions.
