AMB8665 www.amber-wireless.de Wireless 868 MHz USB Adapter with SMA connector Key Features USB Stick based on radio module AMB8626 with SMA connector for an external antenna Range up to 2000 m Communication via virtual COM port Integrated software stack with comprehensive range of functions Flexible addressing and network topologies with up to 255 nodes in 255 networks Configurable data rates and RF channels In compliance with EU RED 2014/53/EU Network Topologies Description The AMB8665 is based on the radio module AMB8626 for easy connection to the PC via the USB interface. In combination with the relevant radio technology in the end device, this solution enables quick and simple realisation of PC supported radio networks and can be used for data collection or control tasks. The integrated radio module AMB8425 enables wireless half-duplex transmission of data. The integrated microprocessor controls data communication, handling of packet and checksum formation, addressing, monitoring of channel access and Point-to-point resending unacknowledged packets. The host system does not have to perform any radio-specific tasks. The USB stick offers numerous configuration possibilities e.g. data transfer with fast channel and address switching. Due to the measured field strength, the RSSI value, it is possible to assess the quality of the radio link. The graphical user interface of the free windows application AMBER-ACC allows easy configuration of the operating parameters. Combined with a suitable antenna it is possible to reach ranges about 800 m. It is also possible to operate the USB-stick in a shielded environment (e.g. a steel cabinet), by using the AMB1982, by means of which it is possible to lead the antenna to the outside via cable. Point-to-Multipoint Interfaces The device is connected either via a virtual COM port or directly via USB using the corresponding software API. The USB controller (FTDI FT232R) supports USB 2.0 (full speed). Supported operating systems The drivers required for the virtual COM port are available for Windows, MAC and Linux systems on AMB8665 www.amber-wireless.de Specifications Performance Range* up to 2000 m RF data rate up to 100 kbps Radio Technology Addressing up to 255 nodes in 255 networks Frequency range 868.0 870.0 MHz Channel spacing 50 kHz Modulation type 2-FSK, MSK Supported topologies Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, Peer-to-Peer General Temperature range -30 C + 85 C * Range stated is calculated assuming line-of-sight.
