Radiocrafts Launches New Low Cost High Power
RF Module for the 868 MHz ISM Band
 Oslo,
Norway, 2009-09-21 -- Radiocrafts AS, a leading provider of compact RF modules, now expand their RC232
product line family with a completely new high power module, the RC1180HP-RC232. The module is pin compatible with
the existing RC11xx-series, and enables extended range using the same low cost design philosophy applicable for
the whole RC11xx product family.
 The
RC1180HP-RC232 (868 MHz) module is certified for operation up to 500 mW under the European radio regulations
for license-free use. When used with quarter-wave antennas a line-of-sight range of over 3 km can be achieved.
The compact
RC1180HP-RC232 module, measuring only 12.7 x 25.4 x 3.3 mm, sets a new standard of integrating high power
technology into a complete RF modem in one single tiny package, replacing tens of components compared to a
discrete design. No external components are required, except an antenna. The modules are delivered on tape and
reel for efficient volume production.
“This miniaturisation of a high power module without compromising the design goals of providing a low cost high
performance module, is unique in the industry. The backward compatible properties, both hardware pin-out and the
embedded protocol, with the already existing RC11xx-RC232 series, makes the
RC1180HP-RC232 an ideal building block for both new and existing customers when range extension is required.“,
say Tor-Anders Lunder, Product Line Manager.
The module is a complete RF system solution running on the existing industry proven RC232™ protocol, with an
easy-to-use UART interface for both configuration and communication. The embedded RC232™ protocol provides a
point-to-multipoint solution with individual addressing or broadcast, and CRC check for signal integrity. The
module can also be used as a wireless RS232 / RS485 cable replacement.
Modules and Demo Kits are available now.
