MeshConnect Sub-G Modules
March 24, 2011
California Eastern Laboratories' encompass the Silicon Labs transceiver platforms (the Si1000 andSi1002) with frequency range options of 868 and 915 MHz covering the Europeanand Americas sub-gigahertz ISM bands. The modules support multiple softwareplatforms to comply with US and European operating standards.
Themodules focus on long range low power wireless applications. They are wellsuited for industrial sensor networks, metering and other non line of sightapplications.
The MeshConnect Sub-G modules support multiple software stacksincluding Synapse SNAP embedded OS, wireless M-Bus, Silicon Labs EZMac andCEL's API. The SNAP software stack supports comprehensive mesh networks withease of use. CEL's 868 MHz Sub-G module supports the wireless M-Bus stack.
MeshConnect Sub-G modules have low power consumption and their linkbudgets provide transmission in non line of sight applications such as lightingcontrol, industrial sensor networks, serial wire replacement, metering andirrigation. At +13 and +20 dBm power outputs, the new Sub-G modules offer 868MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (Americas) ISM band options. As certified andqualified modules, the MeshConnect Sub-G solutions eliminate the need forcertifications, reducing overall system cost and accelerating time to market.
The new modules have an additionaloptional flash memory (in addition to the Si1000/Si1002 built in Flash) locatedon the module enabling over the air software updates. This feature will allowsystem implementers to immediately field units and remotely upgrade theirsoftware with new releases. The modules' high link budgets allow for greatersensitivity and power outputs.
The MeshConnect Sub-G modules are sampling now. MassProduction is available June 2011. Partnumbers are ZICM0868P0-1 (868 MHz Europe) and ZICM0900P2-1 (900 MHzAmericas).
