NOTE:If you are interested in this module, please

Introduction
The PTRF-868 operates in the 868 to 870 MHz band. Its design is based on the XEMICS
XE1202 single chip transceiver and is capable of use in data transmission for narrowband
FSK applications.
In addition to the XE1202, the module incorporates a SAW filter that is used for both
transmitting and receiving, a high accuracy quartz crystal, a low-loss transmit/ receive
switch and all of the carefully selected passive components necessary to get the highest
performance from the XE1202.
The design is pre-certified to ETSI EN 300 220 and ETSI EN 301 489 regulations, which
means that the testing that will need to be done on products incorporating this module
will go much more smoothly than if you started from scratch with a design using the
XE1202 integrated circuit.
The PTRF-868 works in systems with an external processor. Assistance in integration,
customization, firmware development or modification, and certification is available
from Pegasus Technologies.
