Radiometrix has introduced the TX3H-869.5-15. The product is an FM transmitter module that features output power of 450mW at 869.5MHz. It is fully pin-compatible with the company's established range of SIL TX modules and is a drop-in UHF replacement for the TX1H VHF product. The dimensions of the module are 45x17x6mm.
The module is suitable for a designer of licence exempt wireless data application where the size of antenna is restricted yet a range in kilometres is also specified. The module can support data rates of up to 15kbit/s. The potential range of the module is 5km. The range can be increased when paired with the company's receivers, such as RX3G and it depends on the type of antenna used and the environment.
The transmitter module operates within the European 869.40-869.65MHz sub-band allocation. Custom frequencies may be accommodated on request. The module has been designed to comply with EN301 489 (EMC) and EN300 220 (SRD) radio standards. The module is suitable for a large number of end applications, such as asset tracking systems, meter readers, industrial telemetry/telecommand equipment, data loggers, in-building environmental monitoring/control systems, social alarms, high-end security/fire alarms and vehicle data up/download.
