WIT910M transceiver modules are designed to transmit serial data using highly robust 900 MHz
frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology. WIT910M modules employ Murata’s
beacon-synchronized TDMA at an RF data rate of 172.8 kb/s to achieve low transmission latency.
WIT910M transceivers are suitable for both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks. FHSS
technology provides strong immunity to both interference and multipath fading. The small size, light
weight and low power consumption of these transceiver modules make them suitable for a wide
variety of applications. WIT910M modules are certified for unlicensed operation in the USA,
Canada, Australia, Israel and New Zeland.

Long Operating Range
With 29 dBm of transmit power and a receive sensitivity of -103 dBm, the WIT910M can achieve ranges in excess of 20 miles using 3 dBi
omni-directional antennas. When long range isn’t needed, the WIT910M, measuring just 80.2 x 46.5 x 8.6 mm and weighing just 35 grams,
is a powerful performer at low power, consuming only 100 mA at 3.3 volts. With the same size and mounting dimensions of the industryleading WIT2410M4G module, the WIT910M can be used in place of the WIT2410M4G in existing designs, creating a 900 MHz product
with little development effort.
Reliable
The WIT910M provides both reliable communication and reliable operation. Using robust frequency hopping spread spectrum technology,
the WIT910M provides immunity to jamming as well as immunity to multipath fading. Using a 24-bit CRC for error detection, automatic
retransmit request (ARQ) and a 512 byte data buffer, error-free transparent communication is automatic. Built-in data scrambling adds a
measure of security. Reliable operation is assured through Murata’s stringent QA processes. All WIT910Ms are manufactured in an
ISO9000 certified facility.
Simple
Simple to integrate and use, the WIT910M’s default parameter settings work for most applications. For other applications, software control
makes changing parameter settings easy. The WIT910M, with its small size and low power consumption, is simple to integrate into your
product. The WIT910M’s RS-232 style interface with standard 3.3 volt CMOS signal levels makes integration easy. Since WIT910M
modules are certified for license free operation in the USA and Canada, your WIT910M based product does not have to repeat radio
regulatory approval.
Versatile
WIT910M operating parameters are configurable under software control. Even the transmitter power level can be selected using a straightforward command set. Both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes are supported. Baud rates from 1.2 to 115.2 kb/s are provided for

Powerful
With a full 1/2 Watt transmit power and a receive sensitivity of -103dBm, the WIT910M can achieve ranges in excess of 20 miles using 3dB omni-directional
antennas. When long range isn’t needed, the WIT910M, measuring just 80.2mm x 46.5mm x 8.6mm and weighing just 35 grams is a powerful performer
at low power, consuming less than 100mA at 3.3 volts.
With the same size and mounting dimensions of the industry-leading WIT2410 module, the WIT910M can be used in place of the WIT2410 in existing
designs, creating a 900MHz product with practically no development effort.
Versatile
All of the module parameters are configurable under software control. Even transmit power can be selected through a straightforward command set. Pointto-point and point-to-multipoint modes are supported. Standard communication rates between the 910 and the host are supported between 1200 bps and
57.6 Kbps. Non-standard rates are supported as well.
Reliable
The WIT910M provides both reliable communication and reliable operation. With Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, the WIT910M provides
immunity to jamming as well as immunity to multipath fading. Using Automatic Retransmit Request (ARQ) in addition to a 512 byte buffer, transparent errorfree communication is automatic. The built-in data scrambling adds a measure of security.
Reliable operation is assured through our stringent QA processes. All WIT910Ms are manufactured in an ISO9000 certified facility; another reason
CIRRONETTM is the choice of hundreds of designers.
Simple
Simple to use and simple to integrate. Although the WIT910M offers great flexibility, the factory default settings work for many applications. For those other
applications, software control makes changing settings simple.
The WIT910M, with its small size and low power consumption, is simple to integrate into your product. The RS-232 style interface with standard CMOS
signal levels makes the electronic integration easy. Since the WIT910M is FCC certified, your 910-based product does not have to repeat the FCC type
approval.
