The broad band radio modem for ISM

The radio modem WZ DFM 5/868 is the logical extension of our existing radio modem line. The maximum RF- output power of 5 mW as well as frequency synthesizer and signal strength output are ideal for flexible and fast solutions.

Opens up new markets in industrial applications
Small an light - the FMN radio modem WZ DFM 5/868 is ideal for mobile and stationary use in radio data systems. Data rates up to 76800 baud open up new market segments in industrial applications.

High data rates and transmission range
GMSK modulation permits data rates up to 76800 baud. In comparison with other modulation methods, like FFSK, GMSK modulation offers a higher transmission range and better transmission security.

TTL or RS232 interface
The WZ DFM 5/868 is controlled via TTL interface. The interface offers some additional signals to optimise the transmission characteristics.
In combination with the controller WZ DFC, the modem features an RS232 interface for programming and data transmission. Parameters can be set via the controller WZ DFC or plug-in jumpers. In analogy with AX.25 protocol secure data transmission is possible. Data can be transmitted in transparent and broadcast mode.

Frequency synthesizer and signal strength output
The WZ DFM 5/868 uses a frequency synthesizer and covers the frequencies 869.525 MHz and 869.850 MHz. Frequency switching is controlled by plug-in jumpers or DIP switch (with controller WZ DFC). This feature offers flexible and fast solutions.

The signal strength output permits an indication of the signal strength at each site. By using this signal, the optimal installation site can easily be found as well as topographical data like illumination and coverage can be gained. A combination of both features (frequency synthesizer and signal strength output) enables the user to build up cellular networks for professional applications in the private mobile radio sector.

Applications for many purposes
As a classic OEM product, the WZ DFM 5/868 is ideal for integrated applications. Hence, solutions for hand terminals, PLC applications, logistics, mobile data acquisition and several monitoring tasks can be realized. We offer both OEM versions with TTL interface or with controller and RS232 interface as well as IP 65 housed units.
