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 amplier 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 Certied, which
eliminates the need for a costly and time-consuming approval
process when incorporated into your design.
