SATELLINE-M3-TR9

Integration Guide, Version 1.7

INTRODUCTION

SATEL Oy is a Finnish electronics and Telecommunications company specializing in the design

and manufacture of wireless data communication products. SATEL designs, manufactures and

sells radio modems intended for use in applications ranging from data transfer to alarm relay

systems. End users of SATEL products include both public organizations and private individuals.

SATEL Oy is the leading European manufacturer of radio modems. SATEL radio modems have

been certified in most European countries and also in many non-European countries.

This document is the integration guide for the SATELLINE-M3-TR8 and –TR9 radio transceiver

modules. It is intended to describe how to use the module and how to integrate it into a host

device. There is available two versions of SATELLINE-M3-TR9: Standard Freewave version

YM7900 and customer specific Option 9 version YM7905.

Description of the product

The SATELLINE-M3-TR8 and SATELLINE-M3-TR9 are UHF radio transceiver modules, which

transmit and receive data from the UHF frequency band. The modules are designed to be as

compact and power efficient as possible. They have been developed to be especially suitable for

integration into battery powered and space constrained host applications benefiting from UHF

communications.

The module transmits and receives data via the Air interface, modulates and demodulates,

encodes and decodes the data and sends the received data payload to the DTE port. The DTE

interface is used to provide power and communicate with the module.
