XTend™ OEM RF Module   900 MHz

 
Description Specifications Antenna Connections

 

The XTend OEM RF Module provides unprecedented range in a low-cost wireless data solution. The module is easy-to-use, requires minimal power and provides reliable delivery of critical data between devices. Its small form factor saves valuable board space.

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.
