Radiocrafts RC2201HP Module
The Radiocrafts RC2201HP module is a compact high power RF module design for ZigBee(tm) operating at 2.45 GHz. The new module deliver up to 18 dBm output power, and gives an increased communication range of up to 10 times compared to standard low output power modules. The new RC2201HP is compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 and is designed for ZigBee Full Function Device (FFD) and Reduced Function Device (RFD) operation, or other protocol stacks using star or mesh topologies.
The complete shielded module is only 16.5 x 35.6 x 3.5 mm, optionally available with integrated antenna. An integrated microcontroller makes it possible to embed the complete application in this tiny module. The output power can be adjusted to comply with EU regulations for CE marking, as well as FCC and ARIB approvals.
The module is based on DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology and offer exceptional range and performance even in crowded and noisy environments compared to other 2.45 GHz technologies. Low power modes for increased battery life are available.
The modules are suitable for pick and place automatic assembly for volume production and are available in tape&reel.
