dresden elektronik: USB radio stick as smart wireless solution

dresden elektronik presents its compact radio module with USB interface and FCC certification for 2.4 GHz frequency which is usable worldwide. The USB radio stick easily connects a computer with a IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor network. For instance as a virtual serial interface the radio stick allows the computer-aided control of a wireless network. Individual nodes can be easily activated, parameterized and the complete network communication coordinated.

Base is the Cortex-M3 microcontroller from Atmel with 256 kB Flash and 64 kB RAM and the 2.4 GHz band transceiver AT86RF231. It stands out with improved and developer-friendly handling and enhanced performance.  The USB radio sticks are available in the basic versions either with or without integrated memory stick. With a storage capacity of 2 GB all required driver, documentation and application data can be delivered right on the stick so the customer can use it right away. Possible applications are ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, network surveillance and data sink for proprietary protocols. There are three versions available: for software development with JTAG; for implementation with housing, no JTAG or for network analysis with firmware for Perytons test license.
