Radiometrix has introduced a UHF narrowband transceiver specifically suited for power-constrained applications. Supporting data rates up to 10kbit/s, the NTR2 module provides a low power, reliable wireless data link. With an RF power output of 10dBm and a receiver sensitivity of -118dBm, the device's usable range can extend beyond 500m. Available in 434.075MHz, 434.650MHz and 458.700MHz versions, as well as customised options offered right across the 433MHz (EU) and 458MHz (UK) licence-exempt bands, these devices combine effective screening with internal filtering to minimise spurious radiation and susceptibility. They conform to both ETSI EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3 standards. In addition, they have an operating temperature range of -10 to +60°C. Applications include EPOS equipment, barcode scanners, data logging systems, industrial/commercial telemetry equipment, in-building environmental monitors, high-end security/fire alarms, DGPS systems, and vehicle data up/download systems. Their compact dimensions of 57x24x8mm and low levels of power consumption, drawing 20mA for transmitting and 15mA for receiving, makes them suitable for use in battery-powered system designs.
