Extra slim 2.4 GHz radio module
The Thyone I radio module from Würth Elektronik now has a little sibling: Thyone-e, which takes up 30 percent less space and represents a cost-effective alternative for applications in which the long-range mode is not required. Like the other radio modules in the series, Thyone-e can be used to set up mesh networks, radio-based maintenance interfaces, and sensor networks in IoT and M2M applications. The WE-ProWare firmware from Würth Elektronik, which has been proven over many years, makes the chipsets extremely versatile as proprietary radio modules.
Thyone-e has an integrated PCB antenna and an RF pad for connecting an external antenna. It achieves a line-of-sight range of up to 350 meters. There is a choice between a 1 Mbps and a 2 Mbps radio profile. The module, measuring just 7 × 9 × 2 mm, can be used for unicast, multicast, or broadcast data transmission and offers AES128 encryption. Thyone-e achieves up to +4 dBm output power and is highly energy-efficient: The current consumption in standby mode is less than 0.4 µA.
Würth Elektronik offers evaluation boards, a wireless connectivity software development kit, as well as the WE-UART terminal for this product. This easy-to-use PC software allows complete control of the Würth Elektronik radio modules via an intuitive GUI. Together with the evaluation boards, the tool enables rapid prototyping and testing of various functions.
Thyone-e is available from stock without a minimum order quantity.
