Compact AC4490 900MHz transceivers can replace miles of cable in harsh
industrial environments. Using field-proven FHSS technology that needs no
additional site licensing*, AC4490s reject interference, enable co-located sys-
tem operation, increase output power and maintain data integrity.
AC4490s feature drop-in installation and a number of on-the-fly control com-
mands, providing OEMs with a versatile interface for any application. They
can be used as direct wire replacements, requiring no special host software
for communication. All frequency hopping, synchronization and RF system
data transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver.
•
Lowest cost
one-watt module available.
AC4490 modules are socket-compatible with AeroComm’s 2.4GHz AC4424
transceivers, enabling OEMs to design once and subsequently interchange
radios to accommodate new markets, regulations and environments.
Developer tools and integration support back every transceiver line. Let
AeroComm help you find the best fit for your application.

Although AC4490 radios will not talk to AC4424 radios, socket-compatibility allows for interchanging the modules network-wide.
Power consumption assumes 50% transmitter on-time.
Flexible RF Protocol
AeroComm’s embedded transparent protocol simplifies the
OEM’s integration process by allowing for drop-in installation.
As each transceiver receives raw data, it manages over-the-
air protocol to assure successful communication. Headers,
data packet length, and CRCs are not needed.
RF232 supports simple cable-replacement to complex peer-
to-peer configurations. Broadcast communication to all trans-
ceivers or address packets to a specific destination using
unique MAC addresses embedded in each transceiver.
