Linx Technologies recently announced the launch of its 11.5 mm × 14.0 mm HumDT wireless UART data transceiver with built-in networking with encryption. Each module can act as one of three components in a wireless network: an access point that controls a network, a range extender (to repeat messages and expand the network’s range, or an end device.

Each access point can connect to up to 50 range extenders and end devices. The access point also supports routing so end devices can communicate with each. The transceiver automatically manages all routing and network maintenance functions.
The 900-MHz HumDT version outputs up to 10 dBm, which results in a line-of-sight range of up to 1,600 m (1 mile), depending on the antenna implementation. The 2.4-GHz version outputs up to 1 dBm, resulting in a line-of-sight range of 100 m (300′).
To aid rapid development, the HumDT Series transceiver is available as part of a newly conceived type of Master Development System. This development kit is designed to assist in the rapid evaluation and integration of the HumDT Series data transceiver modules. The all-inclusive system features several preassembled evaluation boards, which include everything needed to quickly test the operation of the transceiver modules.
At below $9 in volume, the Hummingbird platform is a low-cost complete wideband transceiver with microcontroller module.
