900 MHz
and 2.4 GHz RF modules are now commonly used for
remote monitoring in embedded systems,
particularly for remote sensor monitoring.
Cermetek offers both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHZ products
to support these applications. The use of Cermetek
wireless modules simplifies the overall system
design. All Cermetek wireless modules are
pre-certified and utilize simple, modem-like AT
commands for control and configuration of wireless
functions.
- Certification: Cermetek RF products feature FCC Part 15
modular approval permitting use in the United
States with no further testing of the RF
transmitter.
- Frequency
Hopping: Cermetek
RF modules utilize frequency hopping
spread spectrum technology throughout our
wireless product line. Frequency
hopping permits higher signal levels by
spreading the signal power evenly across the 900
Mhz or 2.4 GHz frequency band.
- Remote Sensor
Management: Cermetek wireless modules
support remote sensor connections without the
need for an external microcontroller.
Analog and Digital sensors connect directly to
the rf module. Our SensorOnAir feature allows
those sensors to be read remotely.
- Range: Range is
a key variable in the performance of a wireless
network. The range of wireless devices
varies with many factors including receive
sensitivity, robust network management, the
frequency band used, environmental interference
(both physical obstructions and electrical
interference), and output power. Both the
hardware and firmware of the Cermetek RF
products were developed to maximize range and
link reliability.
- Evaluation Kits: Cermetek offers evaluation kits for
our RF modules. The evaluation kits include
a pair of transceivers on adapter boards that
connect to a PC serial port. The
RF evaluation kits allow designers
to evaluate our RF modules and to
develop the code to integrate the RF modules
into their embedded systems. The
evaluation kits are priced at $295 each.
