RM024 Series RAMP ISM Module Development Kit

Laird RAMP (Range Amplified Multipoint) modules are designed to provide robust wireless communications for any number of applications requiring a wireless transport for serial data. RAMP modules feature a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) protocol for excellent interference and multipath immunity. RAMP modules server/client architecture allows for more than 16 million clients to be addressed and communicating within the network. The RM024 RAMP module improves upon Laird’s 2.4 GHz RAMP predecessors by lowering power consumption through the use of three different sleep mode options, an improved link budget, the ability for close proximity operation at low power, and the inclusion of a switchable antenna output.
