Silicon Labs Telegesis ETRX35x ZigBee Modules

Silicon Labs Telegesis ETRX35x ZigBee Modules are low power 2.4GHz devices with an added frontend module (SiGe SE2432L) containing both PA and LNA for the highest possible link budget. These 3rd and 4th generation modules have been engineered to be easily integrated into any device. The ETRX35x series from Silicon Labs enables users to add powerful wireless networking capability to products and quickly bring them to market by utilizing a premier EmberZNet ZigBee® stack.
