FreeStar Transceiver Module
California Eastern Laboratories (CEL)'s FreeStar Module is a
small, fully-integrated, drop-in RF transmission solution that is
ideal for ZigBee and other low cost, low power IEEE 802.15.4
RF transmission applications. FreeStar incorporates the
MC13202 transceiver IC and MC9S08GT60 microprocessor
from Freescale with a power amplier and an Inverted-F PCB
antenna. It delivers up to 4,000 feet of range and features a
streamlined communications protocol that results in the lowest
power consumption in transmit mode of any Module on the
market. The FreeStar is also FCC and CE Certied, which
eliminates the need for a costly and time-consuming approval
process when incorporated into your design.
