FHSS
Transceiver
Module
WIT910M2 transceiver modules are designed to transmit serial data using highly robust 900 MHz
frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology. WIT910M2 modules employ RFM’s
beacon-synchronized CSMA at an RF data rate of 172.8 kb/s to support a high number of remotes.
WIT910M2 transceivers are suitable for both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks. FHSS
technology provides strong immunity to both interference and multipath fading. The small size, light
weight and low power consumption of these transceiver modules make them suitable for a wide
variety of applications. WIT910M2 modules are certified for unlicensed operation in the USA,
Canada, Australia, Israel and New Zeland.

WIT910M2 - 6/5/08
Long Operating Range
With 29 dBm of transmit power and a receive sensitivity of -103 dBm, the WIT910M2 can achieve ranges in excess of 20 miles using
3 dBi omni-directional antennas. When long range isn’t needed, the WIT910M2, measuring just 80.2 x 46.5 x 8.6 mm and weighing just
35 grams, is a powerful performer at low power, consuming only 100 mA at 3.3 volts. With the same size and mounting dimensions of the
industry-leading WIT2410M4G module, the WIT910M2 can be used in place of the WIT2410M4G in existing designs, creating a 900 MHz
product with little development effort.
Reliable
The WIT910M2 provides both reliable communication and reliable operation. Using robust frequency hopping spread spectrum
technology, the WIT910M2 provides immunity to jamming as well as immunity to multipath fading. Using a 24-bit CRC for error detection,
automatic retransmit request (ARQ) and a 512 byte data buffer, error-free transparent communication is automatic. Built-in data scrambling
adds a measure of security. Reliable operation is assured through RFM’s stringent QA processes. All WIT910M2s are manufactured in an
ISO9000 certified facility.
Simple
Simple to integrate and use, the WIT910M2’s default parameter settings work for most applications. For other applications, software
control makes changing parameter settings easy. The WIT910M2, with its small size and low power consumption, is simple to integrate
into your product. The WIT910M2’s RS-232 style interface with standard 3.3 volt CMOS signal levels makes integration easy. Since
WIT910M2 modules are certified for license free operation, your WIT910M2 based product does not have to repeat radio regulatory
approval.
Versatile
WIT910M2 operating parameters are configurable under software control. Even the transmitter power level can be selected using a
straight- forward command set. Both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes are supported. Baud rates from 1.2 to 115.2 kb/s are
provided for serial communication between a WIT910M2 and its host.
