Panasonic Z-Wave - PAN8550

The PAN8550 module is a short range, low power, 868 MHz and 908 MHz ISM band transceiver which includes a complete Z-Wave compliant transceiver and an 8051-compatible microcontroller with reference oscillator which provides a cost effective solution for short-range data links and networks, especially for remote switching and sensing applications. The software is included and can be scaled to fit the application from simple point to point connections to automatically managed full scale mesh networks. This module complies to EN300220 and the US version gets the FCC modular approval (FCC ID: T7VPAN8550).
