Adaptive Modules

ZigBit Amp is based on the industry leading Atmel’s AVR Z-link hardware platform. The combined RF track boasts -104 dBm of Rx sensitivity and 20 dBm of Tx power. The low power amplifier maximizes the range while keeping the power consumption at a minimum. The best-in-class link budget of 124 dB guarantees ZigBit Amp a much longer effective range than that of the modules with lower link budgets.

ZigBit Amp Module Key Features
