How to choose the fitting radio protocol

In the world of electronics, RF (radio frequency) technology plays a crucial role. But how do you find the perfect module for your application? In our free webinar you will get following key topics:

  • Various RF Protocols: Learn about the different protocols available and which ones are best suited for your application.
  • International Certifications: Understand the certifications required in different countries and how to ensure your product complies with local regulations.
  • Technical Requirements: Discover how range and data throughput impact your application and how to choose the right parameters.
  • Easy Implementation: Find out how to simplify the integration of RF modules using a Software Development Kit (SDK).

Which Certification Rules apply where?

A product that is to be launched globally must meet the certification or conformity criteria of each country it is to be marketed in. It is a kind of a proof to the authorities, that the explained facts (1), (2), (3) and (4) are compliant to regulations, laws, norms, standards and so on. There is no worldwide certification applicable to all countries. The following presents the various certification systems.

Why using a radio Module?

In comparison, there is big potential for saving time and money by using an RF-module instead of thesingle RF-IC. With a pure HW-RF-module, you can save HW-development resources, since the requiredcircuitry is completely included. An integrated antenna enables an easy integration, even with a minimumof RF knowledge.The software integration, testing and certification effort will be minimized if the firmware is alreadyavailable, because the FW is linked to module certification.

  • FASTEN TIME TO MARKET
  • LOWER DEVELOPMENT COST
  • INCREASE MARKET SUCCESS

Hardware Advantages

  • Faster developement with a complete RF-module
  • Possibility to work with RF even if there are limited resources in man power or knowledge
  • No antenna design necessary. Integrated antenna!
  • Easy soldering, even by hand for smaller quantities in prototype-phase or for small series
  • Design in guide for all modules
  • Design in support by hardware-, software- and application-engineers

Profiles

Instead of writing software code, select options (=profiles). The usable profiles offer high flexability in:

  • Network topology
  • Data rate
  • Throughput
  • Range
  • Energy consumption
API (Application Programming Interface)
  • Offers communication directly to the module
  • Simple AT-Commands, well known and usable with nearly eevery microcontroller, regardless of its size
Radio Stack
  • Bluetooth® LE Stack for easy communication with smart devices
  • Wi-Fi Stack guarantees high data rates and IP based communication
  • Proprietary stack developed for industrial and medical requirements
  • LTE cellular radio stack for global connectivity
Interface

Different Interfaces available suiting every application:

  • UART
  • SPI
  • I²C
