RAMP

ODULES

Laird RAMP (Range Amplified MultiPoint) modules are designed to provide robust wireless

communications for any number of applications requiring a wireless transport for serial data.

RAMP modules feature a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) protocol for excellent

interference and multipath immunity. RAMP modules server/client architecture allows for more

than 16 million clients to be addressed and communicating within the network.

Overview

The RM024 RAMP module is based on Laird LT2510 core technology, enhanced with a new RF

front end for improved sleep, improved link budget, and a switchable antenna output. The

RM024 is available in two versions, one with 125 mW maximum conducted output power which is

approved for North American and similar markets, and one with 10 mW maximum conducted

output power which is approved for European and similar markets. These modules are identical

except for output power, transmit power consumption, and the number of RF channels

available. Differences between the two versions, where applicable, are denoted based on part

number.
This document contains information about the hardware and software interface between a

Laird RM024 transceiver and an OEM host. Information includes the theory of operation,

specifications, interface definitions, and mechanical drawings.

Note: Unless mentioned specifically by name, the RM024 modules are referred to as “radio”

or “transceiver”. Individual naming is used to differentiate product specific features.

The host (PC/microcontroller/any device to which the RM024 module is connected)

are referred to as “OEM host” or “host.”
