Anaren Extends Its New AIR Radio Module Family With ETSI-Compliant Units Designed for European Applications
December 17 2010 - 9:00AM
Anaren, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANEN) announced today that it has added two
new members to its fast-growing line of Anaren Integrated Radio
(AIR) modules. In order to meet operating demands and compliance
requirements specific to the European market, the AIR line now
includes ETSI-compliant models A1101R08A (embedded antenna) and
A1101R08C (connectorized). Like all AIR modules, the new units
offer the simplicity, cost-savings, and fast time-to-market
advantages of an all-in-one, plug and play radio...with no
extensive RF experience required.
"Just like customers in the North American market who are
benefiting from AIR modules' pre-certification to FCC standards,
customers entering or operating low-power RF in Europe now have an
ETSI-compliant option," says Mark Bowyer, business development
manager for AIR with Anaren's Wireless Group. "If used as
specified, they can deploy these new modules on board
European-targeted end products without any additional EN 300 328,
EN 300 440, or EN 300 489 testing required. AIR modules arrive ETSI
compliant right on the
reel."
As for the AIR product family in general, Anaren's solution is
an elegant, 'plug and play' RF solution – each module's footprint
being smaller than a postage stamp – for electronic engineers
challenged with adding wireless capability to new or existing
devices. 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 |

> Offering same-day connectivity -- 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. |
