In addition, dual crystals provide highly accurate wake-up timing for sleepy end devices. This combination of excellent link budget, increased memory space and accurate wake-up timing make the Raven™ module a very attractive wireless solution.
These RF modules have three antenna output options: on-board chip antenna, u.FL connector and castellation connection for PCB antennas. Combined with its compact size, this added flexibility provides designers with myriad options in their own designs.
Performance Meets Flexibility
The Raven™ module is an IEEE 802.15.4 standard radio paired with an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies the radio PHY and MAC layers, the low-level physical control and operation of the radio. This standard has become popular due to its support for low-power and high-reliability systems. It also provides a foundation for standardized wireless communication between products from different manufacturers.
Thread builds on this by defining several software layers that sit on top of the MAC layer. These layers define how information is transmitted and routed through a network. By using the same techniques that are used on the Internet, Thread enables seamless communication from the Internet to the end device.

Pre-Certified, Low Cost RF Data Modules
July 16, 2015 — Linx Technologies, a Merlin, OR based developer and manufacturer of Internet of Things (IoT) Products and Solutions, is pleased to introduce its new pre-certified, low cost RF data modules. The HumPRO™ Series transceiver is built on the popular Hummingbird platform, and is a frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transceiver designed for the reliable transfer of digital data.
Available today in 900MHz, the HumPRO™ 900MHz version outputs up to 10dBm. This results in a line-of-sight range of up to 1600m (1.0 mile).
Pre-Certified, Low Cost RF Data Modules
The HumPRO™ Series module is a completely integrated RF transceiver and processor designed to transmit digital data across a wireless link. It employs a fast-locking FHSS system for noise immunity and higher transmitter output power as allowed by government regulations.
With modular FCC approval in the United States and IC approval in Canada, The HumPRO™ pre-certified modules reduce the design cycle, cost and implementation of a wireless solution in 900 MHz. Available in two approaches to antenna connectivity – castellations or through a u.FL connector – the product is available as two different products.
Fast Locking Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
The wireless data module employs a fast-locking FHSS system for noise immunity and higher transmitter output power as allowed by government regulations. The fast-locking module also allows the module to wake up, send data, and go to sleep quickly, making it an excellent solution for battery powered applications. It handles all protocol functions automatically and has options for acknowledgements, Listen Before Talk (LBT) and assured delivery. Multiple hopping patterns enable multiple systems to operate in proximity without interference.
Simplicity
Along with low cost being a key design feature, the Hummingbird Series modules were designed for ease of use. Focusing on a core Linx value, the HumPRO™ Series wireless data module is designed for simplicity, compared to other designs that add unnecessary features, complexity and cost to their design. Housed in a compact reflow-compatible SMD package, the transceiver requires no external RF components except an antenna, which greatly simplifies integration and lowers assembly costs.
A standard UART interface is used to configure the module for operation and for the data input and output. This is suitable for direct connection to UARTs on many microcontrollers, USB converters and RS-232 converters. A simple command set is used for configuration and control. Modules can be pre-configured for fixed point-to-point or broadcast topologies allowing streaming data (no commands) during operation. The HumPRO™ Series RF transceiver module offers a number of features that make it suitable for many data transfer applications.
By building on the Hummingbird platform and focusing on a low cost, FHSS protocol, Linx Technologies has been able to bring down the cost of wireless data transfer dramatically. With the addition of the Pre-Certified HumPRO™ Series we have made it even easier for people to develop their products for the Internet of Things. – Kris Lafko, VP of Marketing & Sales at Linx Technologies
Networking
The HumPRO™ Series modules can be used to create many types of wireless networks. By design, the modules do not provide network routing since the internal memory size of the module would limit the overall network size. Having the network routing outside of the RF module dramatically increases the level of nodes within your network without the worry of module limitations.
Best in Class Master Development System
To aid rapid development, the HumPRO™ Series low cost RF modules are available as part of a newly conceived type of Master Development System.

This new design adds yet more options for antenna design in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
With multiple standards operating at 2.4 GHz, such as Bluetooth, Thread, Wi-Fi, ZigBee and others, the vast growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the added need for more options to antenna design. Where permanent mount design is needed, the PML Series half-wave whip antenna has outstanding performance in a rugged and cost-effective package. Featuring a flexible shaft that protects the antenna from shock and harsh weather conditions, the antenna is attached by placing its base through a ¼” (6.35 mm) hole in the product and securing it with a nut or by threading it into a PEM-style insert.
Now also available with an optional 1.32 mm coax cable terminated with a U.FL / MHF compatible connector, this increase of product line options saves the labor of adding a connector while using one that is small enough to fit through the antenna’s mounting hole. Custom lengths and terminations are available by special order.
2.4 GHz for Global Applications
The 2.4 GHz frequency band is universally accepted worldwide and is shared among many applications and standards: IEEE 802.15.4, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 / Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Thread and other personal area networks. All of the devices require some kind of effective antenna design, and this design helps in many IoT applications where a permanent mount, high-performance 1/2-wave antenna is needed.
Wireless products working in the 2.4 GHz band are a part of our lives everywhere: Internet of Things (IoT) applications, home and commercial automation are just a few. These IoT applications will only increase their global presence and will do so at a dramatic rate. By expanding our PML Series antennas into this 2.4 GHz band, Linx is able to offer a larger portfolio of antennas to give our customers added design flexibility. – Kris Lafko, VP of Marketing and Sales
