The PTSS2003 902 - 928 MHz Transceiver



NOTE:   Pegasus Technologies is in the final stages of designing a successor module, and we are no longer taking new customers for this product. For more information on the timing and capabilities of the new module, call Jim Pearce at 865-717-9339 ext. 201.

Pegasus Technologies, Inc. is pleased to present the PTSS2003 902 - 928 MHz Transceiver. Unlike its predecessor, the PTSS2000, which was only offered as a design package, you can purchase this transceiver as a module for use in your product. This device has successfully passed FCC and Canada compliance testing and has been granted modular certification.

Also, an FCC-approved low-power version for 902-928 MHz and an ETSI-tested low power European market version for 868 MHz are also available for your applications requiring less power, exceptional battery life, and ultra-cool operation — see our RF Products page). 433 MHz versions for the Asian market are under development.

Even better, new production efficiencies and increasing volume have allowed us to slash our prices!

Read on below to find out more about the PTSS2003 and how it can add a high quality, reliable RF link to your product while saving you development time -- or read the Joint XEMICS/Pegasus Technologies press release about this module.

A Developer's Kit, which can help you incorporate this module into your design, is also available.


PTSS2003 Specifications

Product Overview

The PTSS2003 is a compact, ready-to-use, FCC and Canadian-certified Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum transceiver that operates in the license-free 902-928 MHz band. It is ideal for OEM applications that require a wireless data connection, and it can also be easily integrated into existing systems. This versatile module will simplify the task of using wireless to send and receive data, using the latest RFIC technology and a customizable TI MSP430 microcontroller.

The PTSS2003 can work in systems with or without an external processor. In situations where there is no host for the system or for specialized applications, Pegasus can easily customize the microcontroller firmware to meet your needs.

Low operating power requirements and very low power consumption in shut down mode make this the ideal module for applications where long battery life is important.
