Size, reliability, cost, speed, distance and power consumption
are important issues to our customers. We address these issues
with our revolutionary proprietary technology, called ConnexRF™.
ConnexRF
2.4GHz, 900MHz and 868MHz) transceivers are designed specifically
for fast integration, and are
almost effortless for OEMs to install and maintain.
Performance
Because they employ robust frequency
hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology, ConnexRF transceivers
operate reliably even in RF-noisy environments. By hopping between
frequencies over a range of spectrums, the radios resist interference
while sending data at rates of up to 882Kbps. Additional benefits
of ConnexRF can include built-in error detection, programmable
packet retries, and programmable broadcast attempts. See individual
product manuals for more information.
Protocol
AeroComm's unique embedded
RF232® protocol
makes some ConnexRF modules drop-in ready. Communication is
transparent to the OEM. 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. RF232 supports
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint
configurations. Broadcast communication to all transceivers
or address packets to a specific destination using unique MAC
addresses embedded in each radio.
Temperature
AeroComm's industrial-temperature transceivers contain sophisticated
temperature-compensating hardware and software to adapt across
the entire -40°C to +80°C industrial range. Unlike many
other radios that contain extended-temperature parts and call
themselves "extended-temp" radios, ConnexRF technology
senses ambient temperature and compensates each radio according
to its unique temp profile. The result is a highly reliable
system where radios operating outdoors at -40°C will maintain
communication with radios indoors operating at +80°C.
AeroComm's modules are currently approved for operation
by FCC (USA), IC (Canada) and ETSI/SE (Europe). The 2.4GHz frequency
band is approved virtually worldwide as an unlicensed frequency
spectrum subject to approval by specific device. By the same
standard, the 900MHz band is approved in North America and Australia
and 868MHz is approved in Europe. Frequency hopping spread spectrum
technology allows the deployment of industrial, scientific,
and medical (ISM) wireless products using these bands without
individual site licenses.
Development
AeroComm offers a full set
of tools to help engineers implement wireless quickly and smoothly.
Our complete, agency-approved transceivers combined with an
extensive wireless background give OEMs of all experience levels
access to "your own" RF department. Developer Kits
include all transceivers and accessories necessary to integrate
RF, plus a support package: an engineer is assigned to assist
throughout RF development and approval.
