THE FASTEST WAY TO WIRELESS
Size, speed, range, power consumption, and cost are all important issues to engineers
integrating RF connectivity. Laird Technologies addresses these issues with compact
2.4GHz, 900MHz, and 868MHz modules. Designed for fast OEM integration, our
radios suit applications where both high reliability and long range are essential.
Laird Technologies’ Development Kits provide a complete design environment to help
engineers get up and running with our solutions in a matter of minutes. Each system
includes the radio modules and accessories required to install and test RF, allowing for
reduced R&D costs, quick agency certification, and fast time to market.
Development 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
ANTENNAS
In an easy menu-driven format, our
Windows-compatible 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. Designers can easily
program the radio modules to any
desired configuration with the EEPROM
Viewer/Editor feature.
Antenna type, gain, and location are
among the most critical elements of a
wireless system. Laird Technologies’
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.
CONFIGURATION
COMPLIANCE
All Laird Technologies’ radio modules
have configuration parameters stored
in EEPROM that are used to customize
the serial interface mode and provide
for general system set-up. 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.)
RF products are required to meet
regulatory compliance such as FCC
(USA), IC (Canada), and CE(Europe). Our
radio module approvals help eliminate
significant costs and time, even when
regulatory compliance is still required for
the final product. Laird Technologies’
experts can help guide OEMs through
the approval process.
