The ZALM-301-1 Apex LT module is based on EmberTM EM260
ZigBee network processor. Also onboard are a 100mW Power Amplifier
and SPI-based microprocessor interface, providing you with the flexibility
to choose an external microprocessor based on your application’s needs.
The APEX LT provide over 4000 feet of range and is designed to deliver
constant RF output power across the 2.1 to 3.6V voltage input, ensuring
consistent performance over the entire life of the battery.
