®
Serial
Interface Module
with Antenna
The ZM5304 serial interface
module with antenna takes
the RF design effort out
of Z-Wave. Designed for
easy integration and fast
time-to-market, it is ideal
in applications such as TVs, set-top boxes, and
gateways.
The ZM5304 is a fully self-contained module that includes a Z-Wave modem
and built-in antenna. The module comes with full FCC modular approval and is
pre-scanned for CE approval, making hardware intergration and approval very
simple. The ZM5304 provides hardware-assisted frequency agility, enabling
the module to switch away from a noisy channel without communication or
software overhead.
The ZM5304 module exposes the well-documented and proven Z-Wave
Serial API via USB or UART. As new Serial API features become available, the
ZM5304 firmware can be upgraded using the UART or USB ports, eliminating
the need to replace hardware. Existing products that use the Z-Wave Serial
API can be upgraded to the ZM5304 module without having to re-write their
interface software.
The ZM5304 continues to build on the Z-Wave ten-year track record of
backward-compatibility, enabling all generations of Z-Wave to communicate
seamlessly in a Z-Wave network.
