mCOG™-RF-1X
Cy-Net ISM Band Ready to go modules over Micrel RadioWire™
RF-Solved includes a range of low power, low cost production ready modules. These can also be provided as a reference design for system integration.
The module includes a Cyan eCOG1X microcontroller and a Micrel RadioWire transceiver. These support the Cy-Net proprietary network protocol at 433, 865, 868 and 915 Mhz.
The solution is aimed at markets such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Industrial Sensors and Controls. It removes the wires from traditional applications, for example process control and water and waste as well as enabling new applications not previously suitable with wires such as environmental, structural and machine health monitoring.
