A wireless connection provider headquartered in Dallas, Texas, RF Monolithics introduced the DNT24 module at the ESC Boston held in the Hynes Convention Center recently. The DNT24 module is a long-range frequency hopping spread spectrum designed for wireless applications in unfavorable RF environments requiring robust networking features and reliable performance.
The DNT24 frequency hopping module is ideal for applications ranging from cable replacements to sensor networks. It is applicable in commercial / industrial wireless sensing, AMR grids, smart grids and remote control.
The application programming interface of the DNT24 module allows an effortless embedded integration that accelerates design time and hastens the process to market the product with higher design flexibility and lower cost as compared to the other frequency hopping spread spectrums.
The Director – Business Development at RF Monolithics, Tim Cutler stated that high configurability and flexibility are standard features of all DNT products including the DNT24. A 2.4GHz module, the DNT24 is designed for cost-sensitive applications and features long-range functionality.
The DNT24 module features three analog inputs, two DAC outputs, three ADC inputs, six general purpose I/O pins and an SPI interface, which allows the module to drive outputs in addition to report signal status. The interface along with a UART serial port makes the DNT24 module ideal for sensor applications. The Canadian IC, ETSI and FCC-certified module can support 10Mw to 100 MW of power and provides RF data at the rate of 250 kb/s. A developer kit, the DNT24DK is also available to enable designers to fast track the designs.
