Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 specification and fully FCC/CD compliant, the UZBee transceiver dongle uses Flexipanel’s USBootTM technology to allow its firmware to be changed via the USB port without any specialist programming equipment. OEMs wishing to customise the dongle can do so by programming the on-board PIC18LF4550 microcontroller.
UZBee’s specification also includes a pushbutton and a status LED. The transceiver’s impressive range is achieved by utilizing an integral signature ‘G’ antenna. Overall dimensions of the dongle are 56mm x 20mm x 9mm.
