RTX Wi-Fi Modules And Test Equipment For DECT, VoIP And Wi-Fi Designs Available At Symmetry Electronics

Hawthorne, CA--(Marketwire) - Symmetry Electronics, a leader in design-focused semiconductor distribution, today announced the expansion of its distribution agreement with RTX to now include the RTX RF test chambers/equipment, development/evaluation tools and ultra low power Wi-Fi modules based on an ARM Energy Micro Gecko MCU and Qualcomm Atheros AR4100 Wi-Fi SiP. 

RTX is a preferred partner to major enterprise, industrial, and consumer oriented OEMs, focused on the development and production of advanced wireless solutions including DECT, VoIP, Wi-Fi, and other RF standards. The RTX product line includes robust RF testing chambers and equipment as well as development and evaluation tools for its RTX4100 802.11 b/g/n ultra-low power Wi-Fi module.

RTX RF test platforms support a range of different RF tests and can be used for high throughput manufacturing applications or serve as a development or service tool for DECT/DECT 6.0/CAT-iq/Japan DECT standards. The platforms can be setup to test on either a portable part (i.e. portable DECT device, handset, headset) or a fixed part (i.e. base station, home gateway, USB DECT dongle) and is highly efficient due to the concurrent measurement capability. Used for fixed part testing, the RTX RF Test Platforms act as portable part and vice versa for portable part testing. 

The RTX4100 Wi-Fi Module is ideal to develop low power solutions because of its full security package, high efficiency and low power, which is achieved through the use of the Energy Micro Gecko MCU and Qualcomm Atheros AR4100 Wi-Fi SiP. Using the RTX4100, applications can run directly on the module without requiring an external host processor, allowing rapid application development of low power sensor, automation, and smart metering solutions, making it a true enabler of the 'Internet of Things.'

"In the past, RTX has been very successful in helping Symmetry support wireless customers. The addition of RF testing equipment and the RTX partnerships with Qualcomm Atheros and Energy Micro will allow us to advance our design support and increase our presence in markets requiring very low power (Wi-Fi enabled) devices," says Gil Zaharoni, Symmetry Electronics CEO.
