M1493 900MHz Iocast Node Transceiver
Transceiver for Fixed and Mobile Nodes
The M1493 Node Transceiver connects an OEM device to an Iocast network. It supports fixed and mobile nodes, bidirectional communications, and all node availability values. The M1493 enables a wide range of applications ranging from sensors requiring a multi-year battery life to mobile alerting units requiring two-second latency.
The M1493 is a complete Iocast node transceiver, soldering directly to a host PCB and interfacing with a local microcontroller using NXI. The unit requires a 1.8V logic interface, a 2.1 – 4.2 VDC supply, and an antenna. The M1493 autonomously performs all network related tasks and can roam between systems. Its RF and DSP performance enable sector connection and reliable communication even when the nearest base transceiver is 15-20 miles away.
For mission-critical IoT, the M1493 delivers high value, low energy consumption, and mission-critical reliability in urban, rural, and industrial environments.
