Panasonic, a worldwide leader in Wireless Products introduces the NEW PAN4561L Series of Mesh Networking RF Modules. These cost engineered modules are designed for applications of up to 100 feet in range where low power consumption is a requirement. PAN4561L modules are short range alternatives to Panasonic's original extended range PAN4561 Series devices.

The PAN4561L Series can be transformed from simple point-to-point proprietary devices to complex mesh networks by choosing from an array of simple firmware options. Fully featured with 39 I/O lines, sharing a common 62-pin footprint and software, each model hosts the FreeScale MC13213 Software-on-a-chip (SOC), using the same eight-bit GT60 processor as Panasonic's popular PAN4555 and making the product family application-compatible. Optional Synapse SNAP® firmware provides a highly flexible, industry-leading solution for mesh networking with a complete network development environment. Multiple antenna options are available. The Series has FCC, IC, and ETSI certifications.
