Successful low-power radio is a piece of
cake
LPRS reckons that just about anybody can cook up a successful radio link using its Easy-Radio system, and is proving it at the Radio Solutions 2001 exhibition.
LPRS comes to Radio Solutions 2001 with its new recipe for successful low-power radio - LPRS' own easy-Radio system And to prove that just about anybody can cook up a successful radio link using this novel technology, LPRS has hired a professional chef to build and program working systems on its stand

Spread-spectrum radio made affordable at last
Available now from Low Power Radio Solutions, the LX2400 is the first in a new family of ultra-low-cost spread-spectrum radio modules from AeroComm.
The chef in question is Managing Director Barry Gillibrand's son David, who could hardly be described as a RF expert.
Says Barry Gillibrand: "For years, manufacturers and vendors of radio modules (ourselves included) have been telling their customers about the potential of their radio systems.
But without controlling the way that data is presented to a radio system, specifications such as range and datarate are just pie in the sky.
But with easy-Radio in control it's a piece of cake" An easy-Radio transmitter will accept most forms of standard data at the TX input, convert the data to an efficient "over-air" format then transmit the data to the matching easy-Radio receiver which will then feed the data to the user's host processor after converting it to its original state.
The system is highly adaptable, and is available from LPRS in four different ways: as a complete system with the software embedded into the radio modules; as receiver or transmitter RF modules only and easy-Radio on disc for the customer to program; pre-programmed on PIC microcontrollers; or as a software licence.
In each case, the easy-Radio software is completely transparent in use: the user simply inputs data to the transmitter, and receives the same data as output from the receiver.
Says Gillibrand: "It's easy to understand how past experience can give designers an attitude of 'Can't make radio work won't make radio work'. Request a free brochure from Low Power Radio Solutions ...
Now, with easy-Radio, it's 'Ready-steady-radio'".
