2.4 GHz Radio Modules

AC 4424 Transceivers

* Transparent protocol eases integration for fast time-to-market.
* FHSS for interference rejection, co-located systems, data integrity, high power output.
* Low-power sleep mode with continuous synchronization for battery-based apps.
* Flexible protocol enables a variety of configurations.

AC4424 is a 2.4 GHz FHSS digital transceiver that represents a breakthrough in industrial RF communication. Comprised of a complete, agency-certified radio and sophisticated RF232® protocol, AC4424 simplifies the OEM’s design effort and assures successful field operation.

RF232 makes AC4424 a drop-in module. As each transceiver receives raw data, it manages over-the-air protocol to assure successful communication. Headers, data packet length and CRCs are not needed. The process is transparent to the OEM. AC4424s operate in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint architectures.

AC4424s contain temperature-compensating hardware and software to adapt across the -40°C to +80°C industrial range. The technology senses ambient temperature and compensates each radio according to its unique temp profile. As a result, radios operating near -40°C will maintain communication with radios operating near +80°C.

AC4424 modules are socket-compatible with AeroComm’s 900 MHz AC4490 transceivers, enabling OEMs to design once and subsequently interchange radios to accommodate new markets, regulations and environments. Developer tools and support back every transceiver line. Let AeroComm help you find the best fit for your application.

LT2510 FlexRF® 2.4 GHz Wireless Module

The fastest way to wireless

Laird Technologies’ fifth generation 2.4 GHz FHSS module sets the standard for industrial RF communication. Based on proprietary FlexRF™ technology, this globally-accepted module will exceed most OEM application and performance requirements.

Embedded with Laird Technologies’ robust server-client protocol, the LT2510 permits each module to communicate with any other in-range module for true peer-to-peer operation. “Out of range” modules can be reached via a meshing topology. The configuration and test software enables OEMs to structure and optimize the network to suit their application.

Enhanced API commands provide packet routing control and network intelligence. With its field-proven FHSS air interface protocol, the LT2510 rejects RF noise, excels against multipath scenarios, allows for co-located systems, and provides an extremely reliable communication link.

With 250 Kb/s throughput in half-duplex mode, LT2510 delivers speedy data rates. In addition, variable output power options (up to one watt) enable communication over distances that aren’t achievable with competing technologies. At the same time, a range of ultra-low power modes plus low TX/RX power consumption make the LT2510 ideal for power-restrictive or battery-operated applications. The mini SMT package is well-suited for space-constrained designs and available in pick-and-place packaging for volume manufacturing.
