The AMB8465 is a variation of the low cost radio module AMB8425 for easy connection to the PC via the USB interface. In combination with the relevant radio technology in the end device, this solution enables quick and simple realisation of PC supported radio networks and can be used, for example, for data collection or control tasks.

The integrated radio module enables a wireless half-duplex transmission of data. The integrated microprocessor controls all radio communication and handles packet and checks on formation, addressing, monitoring of channel access and also the resending of unacknowledged packets. The USB stick offers numerous configuration possibilities and data transfer with fast channel and address switching is also supported. It is also possible to assess the quality of the radio link using the measured field strength (RSSI value). The graphical user interface of the free windows application „AMBER-ACC" allows easy configuration of the operating parameters. With the AMB2560 USB Adapter, there is also a 2.4 GHz version available.

Interfaces
The device is connected either via a virtual COM port or directly via USB using the corresponding software API. The USB controller (FTDI FT232R) supports USB 2.0 (full speed).

Range of Application
Data collection, monitoring, remote control and sensor networks.
