The new module is available with selectable operating frequencies for world markets in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands of 868MHz for the UK and Europe, and 915MHz for the USA and Canada.
The compact form factor, surface mount packaging and external antenna connector simplify product design and manufacture and provide for flexible placement of the module within an end product.
The system-on-chip design offers programmable on-board application memory, half containing the easyRadio operating system that simplifies customer RF configuration and peripheral access, and the other half available for customers' own application code.
eRIC modules can be set in a number of low power operation or low power consumption modes, reducing current consumption to as low as 32uA. Such low power operation makes eRIC modules suitable for battery powered applications.
