Summary of Nanotron Technologies Presents First nanoNET Hardware
Nanotron Technologies has expanded its Chirp technology offerings beyond the initial transceiver IC to include complete RF modules, evaluation kits, and software. The nanoNET TRX IC operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using Chirp Spread Spectrum modulation for robust data transmission. It supports a maximum data rate of 2 Mbps with ranges up to 900 meters outdoors and 60 meters indoors at 10 mW output power. Featuring an ultra-low power sleep mode, mass production is scheduled for Q2 2005.
Parts used in the nanoNET Project:
- nanoNET TRX Transceiver IC

Two years after the world premiere of our Chirp technology, we now offer a whole set of products, says Nanotrons CEO Dr. Jens N. Albers. In addition to the transceiver IC nanoNET TRX, our customers can also purchase complete RF modules, Evaluation Kits and related software. This guarantees an easy entry into Chirp technology.
nanoNET TRX IC
The nanoNET TRX is a transceiver IC for the worldwide license-free ISM band at 2.4 GHz. The CSS modulation technique (Chirp Spread Spectrum), developed by Nanotron Technologies, is based on Chirp pulses and is used for robust data transmissions. With a maximum physical data rate of 2 Mbps, the IC provides a range of 900 meters outdoors or 60 meters indoors (typical) at 10 mW output power and at a data rate of 1 Mbps. Because the nanoNET TRX has a sleep mode with extremely low power consumption and a high data rate (which transforms to a small duty cycle), products with ultra low current can be realized. Sample chips of the nanoNET TRX are already available with mass production starting no later than the second quarter of 2005.
