MeshConnect™ Module Series

DESCRIPTION

CEL's MeshConnect™ Module Series provides high performance

and low cost 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee modules for a broad

range of wireless networks. The MeshConnect certied and quali-

ed modules, enable customer to accelerate time to market by

greatly reducing design and certication phases of development.

CEL's MeshConnect™ radio modules leverage the advanced

features of the MeshConnect™ Integrated Circuit (IC). The IC is

a true single-chip solution, compliant with ZigBee specications

and IEEE 802.15.4, a complete wireless solution for all ZigBee

applications. The IC consists of an RF transceiver with baseband

modem, a hardwired MAC and an embedded 8051 microcon-

troller with internal Flash memory. The device provides numerous

general-purpose I/O pins, peripheral functions such as timers and

UARTs and is one of the rst devices to provide an embedded

Voice CODEC. This device is also ideal for low power applications.

The original MeshConnect module delivers excellent performance

at a surprisingly low cost. The module’s +6dBm output power

means better range, more reliable transmission and fewer nodes

in your network. It also makes these modules ideal for applica-

tions where cost and power constraints do not allow for external

power ampliers or peripheral range extension components.

The MeshConnect Extended Range module adds a power ampli-

er (PA) and low noise amplier (LNA) to increase range to over

two miles - plus more reliable transmission and fewer nodes in

your network. It is especially useful for open outdoor applica-

tions where the nodes are physically far apart, or for indoor use

where the nodes have to operate in a noisy RF environment. The

Extended Range Module’s outstanding +123 dBm budget link

ensures high quality connections even in such harsh environments.

MeshConnect™ Module Series ANTENNA CEL's MeshConnect modules include an integrated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) trace antenna. An optional u.FL connector can be specified, providing connection to a 50-ohm external antenna of the user’s choice. See Ordering Information on page 1. The PCB antenna employs an F-Antenna topology that is compact and supports an omni-directional radiation pattern. To maximize antenna efficiency, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB.
PAGE 6
MeshConnect™ Module Series POWER AMPLIFIER The orginal MeshConnect module does not incorporate an external Power Amplifier and therefore the RF output port is connected directly (through matching components) to the RF antenna. As CEL’s IC IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee transceiver already offers the industry’s best link budget at 106 dB, even without an external PA the MeshConnect can maintain wireless connection over long distance (3,000 ft line-of-sight).
