This SMT KAPPA modem module from RF Solutions is a highly integrated RF modem and intelligent controller with an ultra-simple SIL connection footprint. The KAPPA modem module can achieve a wireless serial data link at up to 57k6bps over a 500m range. Its range may be further extended with a suitable antenna.
The user interface is standard RS232 operating at low voltage. All RF operation is automatically controlled (with error checking, etc.) so the KAPPA can be treated as a simple communications device. Possible applications include one-to-one and multi-node wireless links used for car and building security, EPOS, inventory tracking, remote industrial process monitoring and computer networking. Because of their small size and low power requirements these modules are also ideal for use in portable, battery-powered applications such as hand-held terminals.
The KAPPA modem module is fully compatible with RF Solutions' ZULU series of modem modules.
