The radios are part of the EZRadioPRO family, which includes a complete line of transmitters, receivers, and transceivers covering a wide range of applications.</p> <p>All parts offer outstanding sensitivity of –126 dBm while achieving extremely low active and standby current consumption. The Si4463/61/60 offers frequency coverage in all major bands. The Si4464 offers frequency coverage in bands not covered by Si4463/61/60. Typically, these are non-standard frequencies or licensed frequency bands. The Si446x includes optimal phase noise, blocking, and selectivity performance for narrow band and licensed band applications, such as FCC Part90 and 169 MHz wireless Mbus.</p>
