XTend™ OEM RF Module 900 MHz
![]() |
Due to innovations stamped in its design, the XTend Module supplies 2-8x the range of other modules operating within the unlicensed 900 MHz frequency band. The range gained by OEMs and integrators is due to proprietary technologies embedded into each module; such as superior RX (receiver) sensitivity, interference immunity, modulation/demodulations techniques, etc.
No configuration is necessary for out-of-box RF communications. The module’s default configuration supports a wide range of data system applications. Advanced configurations can be implemented using simple AT or binary commands.
