Wireless M-Bus module

The high sensitivity provides a range of up to 2 km. The wireless M-Bus module comes with LGA mounting technology. With its ultra-low power (< 1 µA in standby) it supports a long battery life and less maintenance requirements. This wireless M-Bus module comes with interfaces like RS232 and helps with digital / analogue inputs and outputs as well.

Wireless M-Bus Portfolio: Chips, Modules, Terminals, USB-Sticks, Gateways

M-Bus (Meter-Bus) is a European Standard for the remote reading of gas, water or electricity meters. M-Bus is also usable for other types of consumption meters.

The M-Bus interface is made for communication on two wires, making it very cost effective. This protocol exists with several physical layers such as paired wires, optical fibber or radio link. The radio variant of M-Bus is called Wireless M-Bus and is specified in EN 13757-4. It is dedicated to the European ISM frequency band at 868MHz. It means that modules embedding the Wireless M-bus stack must comply with the general SRD standard EN 300-220.

M2M module: Embedded Linux, ARM9, GPRS module, USB and further Interfaces

Today I would like to show and to talk about a new Linux based application for wireless M2M. The PCB is already in use in several projects. Based on its enclosure it can be used as a final product for end users. It supports a lot of interfaces like SD card / MMC card, GPIO Pins , AD / DA converter, UARTs, USB Device, USB Host, I2C, SPI and JTAG. At GPIO you will find PMW (Pulse Wide Modulation), counters and other intelligent channels.

Wireless Sensor Network IC Shipments Bounce Back in 2010; 645 Million Forecast for 2015

LONDON – September 1, 2010
Demand for wireless sensor networks is showing significant growth following a period in which adoption was impacted by the economic downturn.
In 2009, 802.15.4 chipset shipments were down almost 30% compared with the previous year. But according to the latest ABI research report on the WSN market, a strong uplift in [...]

Is RFDP8 better than BlueTooth, ZigBee, WLAN and other protocols?

RF Digitals RFDP8 proprietary patent-pending frequency agility protocol operates in the internationally accepted 2.4 GHz band. The RFDP8s leading-edge advanced algorithm is not burdened by a heavy-weight stack as is BlueTooth, ZigBee, WLAN and other protocols, which are well suited for cross-manufacturer interoperability. The RFDP8 protocol is highly robust and effective where there is a [...]
