Telegesis launches 3rd generation ZigBee module
Telegesis, the manufacturer of ZigBee modules utilising technology from Ember Corp, has released the ETRX3 3rd generation of advanced ZigBee modules from the UK ZigBee specialist and the first module on the market to feature the latest ARM Cortex M-3 based EM357 SOC from Ember.
Ultra Low Power Embedded TCP/IP Solution from Texim Europe
Roving Networks has introduced the RN-131G WiFly GSX module. The combination of ultra low power and the ability to wake up, connect to a wireless network, send data and return to sleep mode in less than 100 milliseconds, allows the WiFly GSX to run for years on two standard AAA batteries. Using only 100mW when awake and 10uWatts when asleep, this remarkable power efficiency makes possible a new class of internet enabled products.
RF encoder/decoder chipset speeds up radio-control design
RF Solutions has introduced a pair of encoder/decoder ICs for radio-control applications, featuring three independent I/O lines and allowing direct connection of an RF module to simplify design. Switches can be connected directly to the encoder inputs, decoder outputs will drive relays or buzzers directly, and self-learning capability delivers a result that is easy to use.

PREMO has developed a wide range of emitter antennas for passive keyless entry system in automotive applications. A combination of low and high frequency systems allow users to reduce power consumption.
New Multiposition Terminal Antenna from EAD
EAD is pleased to announce the introduction of the PTR2100, a half-wave groundplane independent blade antenna offering 1.5 dBi gain. It is supplied with a SMA-Male connector that can lock in three positions to allow flexibility in orientation of the terminal device.
869MHz Transmitter from Radiometrix can achieve 5km range
The TX3H-869.5-15 from Radiometrix, is an FM transmitter module achieving a power output of 450mW at 869.5MHz. It is fully pin-compatible with the company?s established range of SIL TX modules and is a drop-in UHF replacement for the TX1H VHF product, having near identical dimensions of only 45x17x6mm.
Multi-channel wireless audio modules for the European market
Circuit Design’s WA-TX-03-R and WA-RX-03-R wireless audio modules are designed for the European harmonized 863 – 865 MHz audio band. The WA-TX-03-R / WA-RX-03-R can be set to 15 communication frequency channels within the 863 - 865 MHz band. In addition to offering frequency response sufficient for audio transmission, the compander noise reduction system enables wireless transmission of clear sound, with a wide dynamic range of 70 dB or more.
Instant wireless connectivity for existing equipment with GSM/GPRS modems from Alpha Micro
According to Alpha Micro Components, instant wireless connectivity can now be built seamlessly into existing applications using the iTegno range of GSM/GPRS modems. Ideal for customers which already have an existing solution in place but want to expand its functionality, the iTegno range of the 3832, 3845 serial and 3800 USB GSM/GPRS modems are particularly well suited to smart metering, POS, text marketing, security and remote monitoring appli...
