XE900SL10 Miniature Spread Spectrum Transceiver
Description
The XE900SL10 breaks new ground in Smart Transceiver
Technology.  It is a 900 MHz, Spread Spectrum
Transceiver with integral micro-controller, just 1 inch
square.  This miniature size combined with  low power
consumption make the XE900SL10 perfect for mobile
and battery powered applications.
Xecom did not drop features to reduce size. The
XE900SL10 still supports Xecom’s Count-Off™ feature
enabling a scan of all 253 remote nodes in under 10
seconds.  SensorOnAir™ allows sensors and control
lines to utilize the embedded communications controller
in place of a host micro-controller .
Xecom also offers a high power spread  spectrum model,
the XE900S-500,  for applications that require greater
range.  The XE900S-500 has an obstructed range of up
to 1500 feet in a larger but still small package.
The XE900SL10 transmits at up to 10 milliwatts with a
receive sensitivity of -100 dBm to provide an obstructed
range of 300 feet.  All from a 1 inch square transceiver
consuming less than .2W of power.
