Description of the product
The SATEL-TR4+ is UHF radio transceiver module, which transmits and receives data from the
UHF frequency band. The module is 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.
