Ultra-Small, Low-Weight FHSS Radio Module Enables Long-Range, Networked LOS & BLOS Datalink Communications for Embedded Applications

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intuicom, Inc.™, a leader in wireless data networks, announced the release of the C1000μ, an ultra-small spread spectrum OEM RF transceiver module with “leap-ahead” performance technology. Designed for integration into military/aerospace instruments and commercial systems where size, weight, and power consumption are critical design issues, the C1000μ is ideally suited for unmanned vehicles, robotics, and portable devices.

“Providing military, aerospace and other OEMs with ‘best-in-class’ performance in a small form factor and at a breakthrough price point was paramount in the development of the C1000μ,” said Karl Tonis, Manager, Government and Defense Systems Group. “Building upon Intuicom’s legacy military product lines, the C1000μ affords the same level of reliability with a landmark performance-to-price ratio.”

* Size: 2.00”L x 1.42”W x 0.38”H
* Wt: 18 grams
* 128 Bit AES encryption
* Secure 900 MHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology
* Single Unit Operation: Configurable as a master, slave, repeater, or slave/repeater
* Low power consumption (11mA @ 5VDC; idle mode)
* -40°C to +75°C operation

Price and Availability

The C1000μ is offered in two configurations. Available in late Q2 ’08, the standard version provides up to 115Kbps throughput for backwards compatibility with legacy Intuicom infrastructure. The high speed 1.2Mbps version will begin shipping in Q4 ’08. Single unit pricing starts at $400.
