XStream™ OEM RF Module – Product Manual v5.x00
1. XStream OEM RF Module
The XStream OEM RF Module is a drop-in wireless data solution that
transfers a standard asynchronous serial data stream over-the-air
between devices. The module was engineered to provide OEMs and
integrators with an easy-to-use wireless solution that yields reliable,
long range and low cost wireless links.
