AeroComm AC4490 900MHz RF TransceiverAeroComm AC4490 900MHz RF Transceiver

  • Small form factor: 1.65 x 1.9 inches.
  • Highest data rate available in a 900MHz radio: Up to 115.2 Kbps.
  • (1) A/D input line; (1) D/A output line.
  • 3V or 5V compatible.
  • Operates across industrial temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
  • Less than $30 at 10k.

Compact AC4490 900MHz transceivers can replace miles of cable in harsh industrial environments. Using field-proven FHSS technology which needs no additional FCC licensing in the Americas, OEMs can easily make existing systems wireless with little or no RF expertise.

AC4490s feature drop-in installation and a number of on-the-fly control commands, providing OEMs with a versatile interface for any application. They can be used as direct wire replacements, requiring no special host software for communication. All frequency hopping, synchronization, and RF system data transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver.

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