UHG RF transceiver boosts battery life
The SX1211 is optimised for asynchronous sensor network designs in the unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) frequency bands.
Semtech has released the SX1211, a UHF radio frequency (RF) transceiver with the industry's lowest receiver (RX) current consumption (less than 3mA), significantly increasing battery life in wireless sensor network applications The SX1211 is optimised for asynchronous sensor network designs in the unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) frequency bands (868-870MHz and 902-928MHz) where low RX power consumption is critical to battery life as the receiver is constantly waking up to sniff for signals
