17 GPIOs of the EM250 are accessible).
 Supports 4 different power modes for extended battery
life.
 Current consumption below 1uA in deep sleep mode
with self wakeup.
 Firmware upgrades via RS232 or over the air
(password protected).
 Hardware supported encryption (AES-128).
 Tested for CE and FCC compliance (with integrated
antenna), FCC modular approval.
 Operating temperature range: -40^°C to +85^°C.
 Future Options: On board, low power voltage regulator,
DC/DC regulator and watch crystal.
RADIO FEATURES
 Based on the Ember EM250 single chip ZigBee /
IEEE802.15.4 solution.
 2.4GHz ISM Band.
 250kbit/s over the air data rate – NB Actual usable data
throughput with ZigBee is about 20kbps.
 16 channels (802.15.4 Channel 11 to 26).
 +3dBm output power (+5dBm in boost mode).
 High sensitivity of -98dBm typ. at 1% packet error rate.
 Hardware acceleration for IEEE 802.15.4 compliant
transmissions.
The Telegesis ETRX2 module is a low power, 2.4GHz ISM band
transceiver, based upon the Ember EM250 single chip ZigBee /
IEEE802.15.4 solution and EmberZNet 2.xx meshing technology.
Designed for integration into any device without the need for RF
expertise the ETRX2 enables you to add powerful wireless networking
capability to your products and bring them quickly to market. The
comprehensive Telegesis AT command line interface allows for quick
integration without complex software engineering.
SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS
 AMR – Automatic Meter Reading.
 Wireless Alarms and Security.
 Home/Building Automation.
 Wireless Sensor Networks.
 M2M Industrial Controls.
 Future ZigBee systems.
 PC Peripherals.
 IEEE 802.15.4 Systems.
 Item Tracking.
DEVELOPMENT KITS
 Two complementary development kits consisting of three
or five modules and a single development board with USB
connectivity and I/O breakouts.
 AT-style software interface command dictionary can be
modified for high volume customers.
 Custom software development available upon request.
EXAMPLE AT-STYLE COMMANDS
AT+BCAST
AT+UCAST:<address>
AT+EN
Sends a Broadcast
Sends a Unicast
Establish PAN network
Unlike many other module command layers the Telegesis AT-
Style command set fully mirrors the functionality of the
EmberZNet mesh networking stack. With the ETRX2 module
there is therefore no requirement for any embedded firmware
expertise when engineering your mesh networking solution.
The ETRX2 is available in Power Amplified form.
