Wireless Data Acquisition System Targets Industrial Monitoring Apps

Building on the QTM-8000 Series of remote data acquisition and signal conditioning modules for serial networks, the company's QTM-8524 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum RF modem modules are the backbone for a new wireless data acquisition system for industrial monitoring and control applications.
The modules operate in the 2.4-GHz ISM band and can reach speeds up to a reported 57.6 kbps. As a spread spectrum system they can be used alongside other radio systems with minimal signal conflict. The modules convert RF signals to serial RS-232/485 for communication with a PC or serial network. The module, with choice of antenna, is priced at $799.
