The BIM3H is a miniature PCB mounting UHF radio data transceiver incorporating a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). It allows the simple implementation of data links at speeds up to 10kbps and distances up 5000 metres over open ground.

Features

• Designed to comply with harmonised radio standard EN 300 220-3
• Designed to comply with harmonised EMC standard EN 301 489-3
• Data rates up to 10kb/s
• Usable range up to 5000m
• Frequency 869.50MHz
• Fully screened
• Fast data settling time

Available for operation at 869.50MHz in the UK and Europe, the BiM3H combines full screening with internal filtering to ensure EMC compliance by minimising spurious radiation and susceptibility. The module suits one-to-one and multi-node wireless links in applications including car and building security, EPOS and inventory tracking, remote industrial process monitoring and computer networking. Because of the small size and low power requirements, the BIM3H is ideal for use in portable, battery-powered applications such as hand-held terminals.
