Cypress has developed a 2,4 GHz radio system-on-a-chip solution delivering up to 50 metres or more of wireless connectivity for commercial and industrial applications. The WirelessUSB LR device (CYWUSB6935), is an extension of Cypress's successful WirelessUSB product family into longer-range commercial and industrial multipoint-to-point applications, including building and home automation, industrial control, utility metering, transportation, paging systems and presentation equipment. The company says that it provides an alternative to complex and costly wireless networking solutions like Zigbee and Bluetooth, enabling broad market adoption of wireless systems.
"Cypress's WirelessUSB LR chip provides a fast path to wireless connectivity in many wired applications," said Norm Taffe, managing director of the Wireless Business Unit at Cypress. "In industrial automation, for example, WirelessUSB LR radically changes the cost structure for installation and maintenance while providing tremendous flexibility for system configuration."
"Many industrial and commercial wireless applications use low-frequency solutions that provide limited channel availability and bandwidth, and only regional coverage," said Scott Smyser, a senior analyst at iSuppli. "WirelessUSB LR provides a 2,4 GHz solution to overcome these issues, economically connecting wireless devices at long ranges."
WirelessUSB LR devices employ direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology to avoid signal interference from other technologies in the 2,4 GHz band like 802.11b, Bluetooth, and wireless emissions from both cordless phones and microwave ovens and features -95 dBm receive sensitivity ensuring a strong omnidirectional signal over 50 m. Featuring a highly integrated radio transceiver plus digital baseband, they are single-chip solutions. The devices are also noted for their very low standby power consumption (approximately 0,25 µA and up to 0 dBm output power). In addition, WirelessUSB LR devices feature a data transmission rate of up to 62,5 Kbps with an average latency of below 10 ms.
