Wireless technology is constantly evolving and plays an increasing role in our lives every day; in work, at home, in industry and every other facet of our lives around the world. It is a complex technology that also has the added complications of myriad regulations globally, with many regions having different regulations from each other. Linx Technologies strives to achieve Wireless Made Simple™. As a part of this, we have assembled numerous application notes and blogs over the years. Available here is a list of application notes that cover many legal and technical aspects of RF.
