Y-Lynx releases their TRM8053-500, 868MHz band, 500mW Long Range Radio Modem

Y-Lynx new YLX-TRM8053-500 Radio Modem is a powerful combination of a full feature ISM band transceiver together with a low power communication library Integrated Circuit (LibIC). The radio communication of up to several kilometers can be achieved even at high data rates, with an optimized RF sensitivity and with a power amplifier allowing 500mW output power.

The Radio Modem is intended for low power / long range sensor network with an emphases on long range (40km) applications. For example it would be suitable for wireless tracking goods, automated meter reading (AMR), as well as home automation.

The YLX-TRM8053-500 offers a link budget higher than all competitors which assures highly reliable point-to-point or point-to multipoint communication under even the most demanding conditions and exceptional range.
