Apex modules are based on the Ember™ EM250 ZigBee platform. They combine Ember’s transceiver IC and 16-bit microprocessor with an onboard 100mW Power Amplifier. Apex modules provide over 4000 feet of range — and are unique in that they deliver constant RF output power across the 2.1 to 3.6V voltage input. This helps ensure performance you can count on, over the entire life of the battery. |

Apex LT modules are based on the Ember™ EM260 network processor IC. An SPI-based microprocessor interface gives you the flexibility to choose an external microprocessor based on your application’s needs. The Apex LT includes an onboard 100mW Power Amplifier, providing over 4000 feet of range. It is designed to deliver constant RF output power across the 2.1 to 3.6V voltage input, ensuring consistent performance over the entire life of the battery. |

FreeStar Pro 32-Bit ARM-Based Radio Modules FreeStar Pro radio modules are based on the Freescale™ MC13224V transceiver platform. Ideal for remote sensing, AMR/AMI, home and building automation, industrial control, and security applications, they combine extensive processing capability with high output power and low power consumption. The processing power of the MC13224V enables the FreeStar Pro to provide a level of integration unprecedented in a 802.15.4/ZigBee Module. The ARM 32-bit processor and expansive on-chip memory enable designers to eliminate the peripheral host processors often required by 8 and 16-bit transceiver solutions. This high level of integration helps reduce component count, lower power consumption, and reduce overall system costs. |
