Wireless platforms from Zeus enable OEMs and Systems Integrators to implement reliable, secure, long-range, and low-cost commercial and industrial data network solutions.

The Design-in Transceiver provides a TTL interface and can be built into OEM products.

 The Stand-alone Transceiver can be plugged into a standard serial port on a wide variety of devices.

Options:

Low Temperature
Low Latency
Intrinsically Safe
Small/Long/Wide Board Mounting

 Options:

Antenna Mount Location
Belt Clip
Battery Operation
Wide Input Voltage
Low Latency

Each Transceiver Includes:

  • A proprietary RF Module with a frequency hopping transmitter and receiver
  • A Digital Control Module for RF Module and Application Interface management
  • An Application Interface designed to communicate with a serial (TTL, RS232, RS485) and other standard on proprietary interfaces
  • A built-in connector to one of several omni-directional or directional antenna options

Zeus Transceivers operate in the license-free portion of the FCC designated industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band at 2.4 GHz. They are ideal for transmissions over long distances or in environments hostile to wireless technologies.

Zeus Transceivers transmit and receive data at 9.6Kbps:

  • Up to 1.500 feet indoors
  • Line of sight to the horizon outdoors
  • On any of 417 independent, non-interfering frequencies

Zeus Transceiver products operate in Point to Point pairs and Multi-Point, Broadcast, and Repeater Networks with up to 239 nodes. Zeus products can be linked with existing computer, telephone, and wireless networks --- including Ethernet and the Internet --- to any device with an IP address.

Features

Zeus Transceivers employ a wireless interface designed to work live a virtual wire replacement with distinct advantages over wire. Zeus Transceivers:

  • Enable mobility that may not have been possible before. Zeus Transceivers connect devices with RS232 or RS485 serial ports in hard to reach locations.
  • Compensate for baud rate differences between devices, eliminating the need for converters between older, slower devices and newer, somewhat faster ones.
  • Provide a GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) mode for communication of status and can control information in addition to data. GPIO ensures timely notification of state changes, such as an "out of paper" indication, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual checking for such conditions
  • Offer both software and hardware flow control to enable pacing of data transmission between devices.
  • Enable efficient timed or batched transmission of data by specifying the period of time to pass a number of bytes to receive before transmitting.
  • Provide asymmetrical data rates to accommodate higher data transfers in one direction.
  • Provide the configurable support a variety of network topologies.
