@ANY900 USB Dongles
A plug-and-play USB-hosted gateway to enable IEEE 802.15.4-based Sub-1 GHz wireless network. A versatile dongle can also serve as a regular node or a network sniffer. Supported by the commercially maintained driver suites, the robust USB dongle design allows seamless OS integration. @ANY900 modules provide stable operation for various Sub-1 GHz bands.
Mechanical module size 80 x 17 x 5 mm
Based on the @ANY900 modules, the host-powered @ANY900 USB dongles are reliable gateway solutions that come in a compact sized form factor. Optimal RF characteristics are achieved using on-chip ceramic antenna (@ANY900-1) or U.FL connector (@ANY900-2) option providing maximum flexibility of external antenna adaptations. The on-board UART chip allows for easy setup of a serial connection via USB interface. Supported with off-the-shelf drivers by the commercially maintained FTDI Driver Suite, the USB 2.0 compliant interface ensures a seamless integration to various operating systems.
Combined with Peryton S analyzer software, the dongle can serve as a single channel protocol analyzer. Firmware upgrades are performed via on-board bootloader or integrated JTAG interface.
Ensure quick setup by ordering the product preprogrammed with either our AT-command-based Smart MAC Suite firmware, your own firmware, or common stacks such as 6LoWPAN, Zigbee PRO or Lightweight Mesh.
