Size, speed, range, power consumption and cost are all important
issues to engineers integrating RF connectivity. AeroComm
addresses these issues with compact 2.4GHz, 900MHz & 8 6 8 M H z
transceivers. Designed for fast OEM integration, our radios suit
applications where both high reliability and long range are essential.
AeroComm’s Design Kits provide a complete development environment to help engineers get up and running with our solutions in
a matter of minutes. Each system includes the transceivers and
accessories required to install and test RF, allowing for reduced
R&D costs, quick agency certification and fast time to market.
Design Kits are not just for engineers working with tight resources, limited time or
varying experience—all OEMs can benefit from our comprehensive tools and highly
technical expertise in the complex field of RF.
Software
✓ Testing and tuning antennas
✓ Hardware and software integration
✓ Increasing transmission range
✓ Finding best mode for data rate & network
✓ Optimizing system timing
✓ Finding best configuration for application

✓ Help with agency certification
In an easy menu-driven format, our Windowscompatible software provides several helpful
development utilities, allowing OEMs to quickly
begin performing tests for configuration modes,
range measurements, antenna evaluations,
power management and data throughput. Plus,
designers can easily program the transceivers to
any desired configuration with the EEPROM
Viewer/Editor feature.
Configuration
Two (2) Transceivers
Choose from AeroComm’s 2.4GHz, 900MHz or 868MHz kits. Marketready modules help you to determine actual transmission range for
your application, evaluate data throughput in the field, and choose
best mechanical fit.
Two (2) Adapter Boards
RS232, RS485, 5V/3.3V serial TTL and USB interfaces supported.
More features include: 1) loop-back feature for distance-testing using
one computer, 2) status/communications LED indicators, 3) switches
for easy configuration & reset, 4) test points for troubleshooting.
One (1) Utilities CD
Script-driven utilities include: 1) transmit/receive emulator, 2) singleline command interface, 3) EEPROM viewer/editor; configuration information storage file, 4) “What’s This?” Help File format provides
description of each configuration option, 5) error-checking prevents
configuration errors.
Two (2) AC Power Adapters
Power for adapter board & transceiver. USB & battery power optional.
Two (2) DB9 Serial Cables
Connect the adapter board to PC via DB9.
Two (2) USB Cables
Connect the adapter board to PC via USB.
Two (2) Dipole Antennas
Convenient, small, cost-efficient dipole antennas plug directly into
transceiver’s MMCX connector; longer-range antennas available.
Engineering Expertise
AeroComm’s team is available to assist with development, integration,
and agency certification processes.
All AeroComm transceivers have configuration
parameters stored in EEPROM that are used to
customize the Serial Interface Mode and provide
for general system setup. The modules ship with
default parameters already configured to enable
plug-and-play; these can be changed using our
development tools or with custom interfaces
developed by the OEM.
Antennas
Antenna type, gain and location are among
the most critical elements of a wireless system.
AeroComm’s Design Kit allows OEMs to connect
different antennas and evaluate their performance in various situations. In addition, our engineers can provide a comprehensive antenna
review during the design process to determine
the best antenna and location for the application.
Compliance
RF products are required to meet regulatory
compliance such as FCC (USA), IC (Canada),
ETSI (Europe). Our transceiver approvals will
help eliminate significant costs and time, yet regulatory compliance is still required for the final
product. AeroComm’s experts can help guide
OEMs through the approval process.
