Noise immunity
The RIM 801D is not de-sensitized by RF noise generated by nearby
electronics. This makes the RIM 801D ideal for integration into hand-held
terminals, and eliminates the need for special shielding. Noise immunity
significantly increases reliability, improves performance, extends battery
life, and increases the effective range of operation of the RIM 801D.
Low power requirements
Battery life is a critical issue for portable devices: end-users want long
lasting devices without heavy battery packs. The RIM 801D sets a new
power consumption standard for OEM-style radio modems by reducing
standby power to only 12 mA. This allows the RIM 801D to maximize
efficiency and ensure long battery life.
Small size
Using a single board design, the RIM 801D is very thin, only 0.3” to 0.38”
(7.5 to 9.6 mm). The RIM 801D is about the size of a credit card, with a
footprint of 3.5” by 2.6” (87.5 by 66.3 mm). This tiny size makes the RIM
801D very lightweight (only 2.3oz or 64g, including case) and allows the
device to meet tight space requirements within most applications.
