Italian Electronics Supplier Selects Atmel Smart RF Multi-channel Transceiver

San Jose, CA and Mipot, Cormons, Italy -- Atmel Corporation and Mipot, Italian electronics supplier, announced that Atmel's fully integrated multi-channel transceiver has been selected for Mipot's two-way radio frequency applications.

With an interest in reliable short-range signal transmission, Mipot is offering both standard modules and OEM designs for remote controls, telemetry, fire alarms, social alarms and heating equipment using the Atmel AT86RF211/211S. Mipot's products address requirements in point-to-point links as well as in master/slave configurations.

The AT86RF211/211S was chosen for its super-heterodyne structure with distributed filtering, selectivity and IIP3 and its integrated high-power amplifier for long-range applications. Mipot is also using a companion Atmel AVR microcontroller. Prototype designs submitted to a certified test laboratory show compliance with the ETSI rules and Federal Communication Commission regulations at first pass. The ETSI is governing the operation of RF transmitter in the un-licensed ISM 868-870 MHz frequency bands.
