AeroComm AC4486 868MHz TransceiverAeroComm AC4486 868MHz Transceiver

  • Small form factor: 1.65 x 1.9 inches.
  • Highest data rate available in a 868MHz radio: Up to 115.2 Kbps.
  • (1) A/D input line; (1) D/A output line.
  • 3V or 5V compatible.
  • Lowest cost complete 868MHz transceiver: Less than $30 at 10k.

Compact 868MHz transceivers can replace miles of cable in harsh environments. Using field-proven RF technology which needs no additional ETSI (Europe) licensing, OEMs with little or no previous RF experience can easily and quickly make existing systems wireless.

AC4486s feature drop-in installation and a number of on-the-fly control commands, providing OEMs with a versatile interface. They can be used as direct wire replacements, requiring no special host software for communication. All synchronization, and RF system data transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver.

The modules are socket-compatible with AeroComm's 900MHz AC4490 modules and 2.4GHz AC4424 models to allow for interchanging the network's frequency. This preserves OEMs' hardware/software investments while providing solutions that meet different markets and regulations. See more specifications in the table below
