Xecom XE24S500 the Smallest, Complete 2.4 GHZ FHSS Transceiver
Models
Description
• XE24S500C: Includes on-board chip antenna
• XE24S500D: Includes DipoleAntenna connector
• XE24S500DK-C: XE24S500C Development Kit
• XE24S500DK-D: XE24S500D Development Kit
The Xecom XE24S500 is a miniature 2.4 GHz Spread
Spectrum transceiver. It includes all RF hardware and a
micro-controller to manage the communications link.
The micro-controller manages all communications task
including configuration, data packaging, and Frequency
Hopping. The result is a complete wireless data
communications solution.
Features
• 1.55” x 0.9” x 0.12” Leadless Surface-Mount package
• Utilizes globally available 2.4 GHz ISM band
• Control and Configuration with AT commands.
The XE24S500 package is unique because of its size
(less than 1.4 square inches), its leadless surface-mount
design, and the availability of an on-board chip antenna.
No competitive products can offer a solution as flexible,
convenient, and easy to integrate,
• 254 unique node addresses plus 254 unique Group
IDs allow multiple large networks to coexist.
• Programmable Transmit Power Output, max. 500 mW
• Typical Receiver Sensitivity -87 dBm
There are two XE24S500 models; the XE24S500C with
the on-board chip antenna and the XE24S500D with
dipole antenna connector. The dipole antenna improves
range while the chip antenna lowers system cost and
simplifies integration. Development Kits are available
for each version.Apin-compatible, lower power variant
is also available, the XE24S100, for applications with
lesser range requirements.
• Typical Throughput rate 20,000 bps
• Obstructed signal range 700 feet (XE24S500D)
• Multiple Low Power Operating modes
• SensorOnAirTM (patent pending)allows direct
connection of sensors to the Smart Transceiver
• Count-OffTM (patent pending) allows the host node to
download the status of all nodes in under 10 seconds.
• FCC Part 15 Modular Certification
