Description
The EVM-868-EUR combines the
TRM-868-EUR transceiver module with
an SMA antenna connector and voltage
regulator on a DIP board. This simplifies
integration of the module into prototype
and low volume designs.
The module combines a state-of-the art low
power wireless transceiver with a powerful multipoint-to-multipoint protocol
controller to form a transparent wireless communication solution capable of
replacing wires in almost any RS-232/422/485 application. With a 112dB
link budget and very low power operation modes, the TRM-868-EUR
module is excellent for AMR, RFID, Home Automation, and any other
application requiring long range (<1500ft. , line of sight) and long battery
life.
The module is designed to be totally transparent. No special addressing
or formatting of data is required. Data is validated using an internally
generated CRC-16 and encoded using a proprietary algorithm. Multiple
modules can operate on the same channel because of the built-in carrier-
sense-multiple-access (CSMA) protocol.
