AeroComm AC4424 2.4GHz TransceiverAeroComm AC4424 2.4GHz Transceiver

  • 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 syncronization for battery-based apps.
  • Flexible protocol enables a variety of configurations.

AC4424 is a 2.4GHz 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
