XCite™ OEM RF Modules

• ISM 900 MHz operating frequency
• 4 mW power output (up to 300m range)
• RPSMA or whip antenna options
• FCC-approved
• Advanced networking & amp; low-power modes supported
• Product datasheet

The XCite OEM RF module was engineered to provide reliable low-cost wireless communications for OEMs and integrators. This affordable RF module is smaller than a credit card and supplies wireless links between devices that require minimal setup, power and cost. The module is optimized to operate in the ISM 900 MHz frequency bands for agency-approved use throughout North America.

The 9XCite (900 MHz) is pin-for-pin and software compatible with the 9XStream (900 MHz) OEM RF module, allowing for flexible deployment of your products throughout the world (only one OEM board design needed).
