The RF module, which will be released in a compact form factor (15mm x 14mm) suitable for SMT assembly, features an STM32L0 ultra-low-power microcontroller, a low-power SPIRIT1 sub-GHz transceiver, and BALF-SPI-01D3 Balun. In addition, the module incorporates the wireless M-Bus and OMS-layer to OMS 3.X and OMS 4.X specifications and supports connection to an external antenna. The module will be pre-certified and CE conforming.
“The module provides easy and quick integration of an OMS interface in meter or smart meter gateways, enabling – in fact, encouraging – fast time-to-market with the OMS interface,” said Wolfgang Esch, WEPTECH elektronik and member of the board of the OMS group.
Key Features include 1.8 – 3.8 V supply voltage, ultra low power modes; low power down to 0.27uA and output power of +12 dBm.
The module conforms to EU R&TTE directive.
