FHSS
Transceiver
Module
WIT2492 transceiver modules are designed to transmit serial data using highly robust, low latency
2.4 GHz frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology. WIT2492 modules employ
RFM’s patented beacon-synchronized TDMA at an RF data rate of 921.6 kb/s, and can simul-
taneously support up to five continuously transmitting remotes. WIT2492 transceivers are suitable
for both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks. FHSS technology provides strong
immunity to both interference and multipath fading. The small size, light weight and low power
consumption of the WIT2492 makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications. WIT2492 modules
are certified for unlicensed operation in the USA, Canada and Europe.

Fast and Versatile
WIT2492 modules transmit at an RF data rate of 921.6 kb/s using beacon-synchronized TDMA to achieve very low transmission latency
in point-to-point cable replacement applications or point-to-multipoint (star) network applications. Serial communications between a
WIT2492 module and its host can run at up to 460.8 kb/s to further speed data communication.
Efficient Battery Operation
With +18 dBm of transmit power and a receive sensitivity of -90 dBm, the WIT2492 can achieve ranges in excess of 1/2 miles using 3 dBi
omni-directional antennas. The WIT2492, measuring just 80.2 x 46.5 x 8.6 mm and weighing only 35 grams, is a powerful performer at
low power. Consuming only 40 mA average current while streaming data continuously, WIT2492 remote units are ideal for lightweight
battery powered applications.
Reliable
The WIT2492 provides both reliable communications and reliable operation. The frequency hopping spread spectrum technology used by
the WIT2492 resists jamming by in-band signals and minimizes the effects of multipath fading. Using a 24-bit CRC for error detection and
automatic retransmit request (ARQ), error-free communication is automatic. A network lockout key provides security from eavesdropping.
Reliable operation is assured through RFM’s stringent QA processes. All WIT2492s are manufactured in an ISO9000 certified facility.
Simple
The WIT2492, with its small size and low power consumption, is simple to integrate into your product. The WIT2492’s RS-232 style
interface with standard 3.3 volt CMOS signal levels makes integration easy. Since WIT2492 modules are certified for license free
operation, WIT2492 based product does not have to repeat radio regulatory approval.
