The RC1280HP from Radiocrafts AS offers up to 500 mW output power for increased range. When used with quarter-wave antennas a line-of-sight range of 5 to 6 km can be achieved.
The module is pre-certified and CE marked for operation under the European radio regulations for license-free use in the 868 MHz band, operating in 3 channels in the sub-band at 869.400 to 869.650 MHz. Up to 10% duty-cycle (transmission ratio) is allowed in this band. The new high power module can also be used outside this sub-band if the power amplifier is disabled, reducing the output power to less than 10 mW.
The RC1280HP based on the RC1280 RF transceiver Module for FSK operation with embedded protocol. The new RC1280HP module uses the same protocol and channels as the RC1280. Interoperation between RC1280 and RC1280HP is therefore possible in a network with both long- and shorter range modules.
The RC1280HP module yields a high performance, low power, two-way radio solution with an embedded RS232 protocol supporting point-to-multipoint networks. Based on narrow-band technology, the module offers increased performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, data integrity and range. The module contains a multi-channel transceiver with a receiver sensitivity of -108 dBm at 4.8 kbit/s. With 30-dB adjacent channel rejection, 40-dB alternate channel selectivity and outstanding blocking properties, the module offers exceptional performance even in a crowded and noisy environment.
The new module measures 19.5 x 60.5 x 6.0 mm, and comes in a DIL-style package with 2.00 mm pin pitch made for low profile board-to-board connection. Typical applications include long range telemetry and remote control, automatic meter reading (AMR), fleet and asset management, home-, building- and industrial- automation, wireless security and alarm systems.
