Low power requirements
The BiM1 is a half duplex radio transceiver module for use in long range bi-directional data transfer
applications at ranges up to 10kilometres. The module operates on the UK licence exempt frequency of
173.225/173.250MHz with 10mW RF output and Australian frequency of 151.300MHz with 100mW RF
output. The small footprint of 23 x 33mm and low profile of 10mm together with low power
requirements of <80mA (for 100mW) at 3.8V enables convenient PCB installation. BiM1 is also
available as separate BiM1T transmitter and BiM1R receiver which can be used as dual-in-line
equivalents of TX1 transmitter and RX1 receiver respectively.

standard
pin-out and footprint. This makes the
BiM1 ideally suited to those low
power applications where existing
wideband
transceivers
provide
insufficient range.
