- What are the business hours of Nanotron Technologies?
Nanotron Technologies is open 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday to Friday Central European time.
- Can I get technical support in English?
Nanotron Technologies provides full technical support in English.
- Can I get technical support in German?
Nanotron Technologies provides full technical support in German.
- What email address do I use for technical support?
- Are radio licenses required to operate Nanotron products?
nanoNET and nanoLOC operate in the 2.4GHz license free ISM Band (Industrial, Scientific, Medical Frequency Band).
- What are the frequency band in which nanoNET operates?
nanoNET's Chirp Spread Spectrum operates in the 2.45 GHz band, and achieves a maximum data rate of 2 Mbps. Each symbol is transmitted with a chirp pulse that has a bandwidth of 80 MHz (an effective
bandwidth of 64 MHz is the result of a selected roll-off factor of 0.25) and a fixed duration of 1 µs. The system gain of CSS is 17 dB.
- Which data rates can be selected in the nanoNET chip?
With nanoNET, data rates of either 500 kbps, 1 Mbps, or 2 Mbps can be selected.
- What is the maximum range indoors and outdoors of the nanoNET chip?
nanoNET provides a maximum range for Line Of Sight at 900 meters outdoors and 60 Meters indoors (typical)
- What is a "Chirp"?
Chirp pulses are Linear Frequency Modulated (LFM) signals with a constant amplitude. They fill out the total available bandwidth B over a predefined duration T. Pulses that have a frequency that changes monotonic from a lower value to a higher value are called Upchirps, while those that change from a higher value to a lower value are called a Downchirps.
- What are the characteristics of Upchirps and Downchirps?
The difference between Upchirps and Downchirps is approximately the bandwidth B of the chirp pulse. Upchirps and Downchirps have the following characteristics:
-Symbol duration: tSymbol = 1µs,
-Symbol period: tSPeriod = 1 µs or 2 µs,
-Frequency bandwidth: BChirp = 80 MHz
- What is "Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS)?
This innovative modulation technique permits the development of chips that have extremely low power consumption, operate over a wide range of temperatures, and perform effortlessly in robust wireless networks operating in the 2.45 GHz ISM band.
- What is the maximum output power of the nanoNET chip?
The nanoNET TRX (NA1TR8) Transceiver has a maximum output power of 8 dBm.
- What supply voltage is required to operate the nanoNET chip?
nanoNET requires minimum 2.4 V to a maximum 3.6 V.
- What package is used by the nanoNET chip?
The nanoNET chip uses the MLF44 44 Pin 7.00 mm x 7.00 mm X 1.00 mm lead-free package.
- Are RF modules available that incorporate the nanoNET chip?
Nanotron provides the nanoPAN 5360 RF Module and the nanoPAN 5361 RF Module.
- How can I evaluate nanoNET?
- Are development kits available to quickly develop applications based on nanoNET?
Nanotron provides the ATMega Development Kit, which can be used to both evaluate nanoNET and form the basis of custom applications using the ATmega board and nTRX driver software.
