Photo Release -- Anaren Launches Its First-Ever Radio Module Family Targeted to the Broad Electronics Market
September 23 2010 - 11:33AM
Anaren, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANEN) announced today that it has launched a
family of Anaren Integrated Radio (AIR) modules designed for the
broad electronics market. Working closely with Texas Instruments as
a member of the TI Developer Network, Anaren developed the
five-module AIR family to provide a more elegant, FCC Certified,
'plug and play' RF solution to electronic engineers challenged with
adding wireless capability to new or existing devices. Available in
two standard sizes (9 x 12 x 2.5mm and 9 x 16 x 2.5mm), each
module's footprint is smaller than a postage stamp. A photo

"Our research indicated that an electronics engineer looking to
bring basic radio capability to any microprocessor-based device
required extensive RF knowledge, which many E-OEMs simply do not
focus on," says Mark Bowyer, the Anaren Wireless Group business
development manager responsible for the AIR family. "Compounding
matters, traditional RF modules come with embedded microprocessors
and oftentimes unnecessary pre-programmed software that doesn't fit
many of our customers' applications. Anaren's forte in RF enabled
us to re-think and demystify all of that to the customer's
benefit." Bowyer also emphasized that the AIR modules solution from
Anaren can even help an E-OEM eliminate the major time and resource
demands necessary to securing an FCC certification: AIR modules
come pre-certified, which can save the customer money and help
minimize time-to-market. "Anaren's new, simple RF module solution
will enable electronics manufacturers, regardless of their RF
design experience, to easily add low-power wireless capability and
minimize time-to-market for their new and existing devices," said
Iboun Sylla, low-power RF business development manager at Texas
Instruments. Applications for AIR modules range from industrial
control, building automation, and low-power sensor networks – to
lighting and equipment and appliances intended for inclusion in
smart-grid scenarios (e.g. automated meter reading).
Leveraging Anaren's 40+ years in microwave/RF technology and
Texas Instruments' renowned semiconductor technology, the AIR
module product family
offers:
> Easy integration and implementation
on existing or newly-designed two-layer PCB |
> Virtually no RF engineering experience
necessary |
> Tiny 9 x 12 x 2.5mm and 9 x 16 x 2.5mm
footprints, across product family |
> FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada RSS-210
compliant, with no additional "Intentional Radiator"
certification required |
> Choice of embedded or connectorized
antenna |
> 100% RF-testing |
> Low power consumption |
> Choice of frequencies to match an OEM's
application: |
-- A1101R04C: 433-434.4MHz FCC compliant;
device operating range 400-450MHz |
-- A1101R09A and A1101R09C: 902-928
MHz |
-- A1101R08C: 868 MHz |
-- A2500R24A and A2500R24C:
2400-2483.5 MHz |
> Offering same-day conductivity -- test
boards are available to easily evaluate each module's performance,
using Texas Instruments EM Development Kits (CC1101DK
and CC2500DK) and eZ-430 Development Kits. |
> Supplied on tape and reel for easy
integration into automated assembly systems |
Additionally, AIR modules from Anaren are available through
Anaren's stocking distributors Arrow Electronics and Avnet
Electronics Marketing -- as well as through online electronics
component sourcing specialist Mouser Electronics. Pricing will be
approximately $11.50 for 1K pieces. E-OEM design engineers
interested in learning more or securing applications assistance are
encouraged to contact Anaren or their Texas Instruments sales
representative.
