High Performance nanoPAN 5375 RF Module Released

Nanotron further accelerates time to market for Loss Protection Applications with two or more radio nodes

July 17th, 2009

Berlin, July 17, 2009 — Nanotron Technologies, the leader in Loss Protection Solutions, today announces the nanoPAN 5375 integrated 2.4GHz transceiver with power amplifier for general availability.

Through its SPI interface it connects to almost any microcontroller forming a complete Loss Protection subsystem with only very few external components. Two core functions, ranging or accurately estimating the distance between two or more radio nodes, and communication are provided. The nanoPAN 5375 supports long reach ranging with 250 kbps and high throughput ranging with 1 Mbps of data communication. For harsh environments with lots of interference, it also supports the very robust 250 kbps communication only mode. Nanotron’s nanoPAN 5375 Software Support Pack combines the basic ranging and communication functionality with user accessible application elements. Sample code is provided to accelerate the overall software development process.

“Our new compact nanoPAN 5375 allows for rapid time to market of Loss Protection Solutions with two or more radio nodes – even for organizations that do not have particular RF design experience”, says Thomas Förste, VP Sales and Marketing at Nanotron Technologies.

Nanotron’s CEO Jens Albers adds: “Reliable and robust operation is a key requirement in Loss Protection Applications. Supporting this very requirement our new module provides up to 100 mW of RF output power.” The device is based on Nanotron’s patented Chirp technology.

About Nanotron Technologies

Loss Protection Solutions are used today to protect people, animals and valuable assets. Yes, reliable Chirp technology from nanotron with its small battery powered radio nodes simply monitors the objects to be protected. An alarm is generated if the distance between them or their position violates a set of user-defined rules. – Nanotron sells Chirp chips, Chirp modules and the related software suitable for indoor and outdoor environments worldwide.
