FreeWave Technologies’ ZumLink Family represents a class of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) communication solutions offering a radio design that supports a link rate of as fast as 4 Mbps, as well as the ability to support third-party applications. These capabilities provide customers with increased bandwidth, lower power consumption, and possibilities for collecting, protecting, transporting, and controlling data from the network endpoints all the way back to the server. ZumLink features four platforms within its 900 Series, consisting of two radio modules, a board-level embeddable, and a fully enclosed device, all four of which operate in the 900 MHz unlicensed frequency range.

ZumLink offers several options for users, including Z9-PE enclosed with one Ethernet and two serial ports; Z9-T radio module with TTL interfaces; Z9-C radio module with RS232; and Z9-PC board level device with two Ethernet and two serial ports. Freewave also offers standards and user-defined hop sets; sense-before-transmit protocol; throughput of as fast as 2 Mbps at the 4 Mbps link rate; multiple link rates, channel sizes and modulations; frequency hopping and single-channel use; and user-channel masking. The core design can support a wireless application server and sports a built-in spectrum analyzer. It also consumes 30 percent lower power than traditional designs.
