Quick Product Introduction
The RC220x series of modules are specially designed to meet the IEEE 802.15.4 standard
used by ZigBee and a variety of proprietary network protocols. Using the module together
with the Chipcon / Figure 8 Wireless Z-stack or any other ZigBee network implementation
makes it a powerful platform to build any ZigBee profile and application. The module contains
qualified RF hardware and enough processor power to run the complete ZigBee mesh
network protocol for a full function device including the application.
Using a pre-qualified module is the fastest way to make a ZigBee product and shortest time to
market. Because it contains all the RF HW and MCU resources you need in a 100% RF
tested and pre-qualified module shorten the qualification and approval process. No RF design
or expertise is required to add powerful wireless networking to the product. As an option you
can even get the module with integrated antenna or coaxial MMCX connector. In the simplest
case like a home light remote control you only need an external battery and a pushbutton.
