Radicom Research announced today the launch of its new
RB4000 and RB4000HM Bluetooth modules for short-range wireless data
connectivity. Manufactured to fulfill OEM needs for embedded short-range
communication in products, the low-cost modules act as RS232 cable replacement
and offer an affordable, easy alternative for wireless point-to-point
communication across distances up to 60 feet.
Featuring Serial Port Profile (SPP), the RB4000 Series is a
full Bluetooth system solution with an integrated controller, antenna and
Bluetooth transceiver. Utilizing the BlueCore4-External Chipset from CSR, the
leader in Bluetooth chipsets, these Class 2 modules are Bluetooth V2.0 +EDR
(Enhanced Data Rate) compliant for increased throughput, reduced battery
consumption, and improved security. The result is faster pairing and superior
performance, even in the presence of interference from 802.11 (Wi-Fi) wireless
devices or other 2.4 GHz radios.
“The RB4000 family’s low cost and reliable connectivity make
it the ideal OEM solution for a number of industrial uses,” says Tsau. “Our
response from M2M providers has already been outstanding.”
Designed for integration in barcode readers, medical
devices, and other monitoring systems, the RB4000’s low power consumption and
extreme operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) provides flexibility across
a number of industries and situations.
