CEL’s MeshConnect™ Sub-G Modules Deliver Superior Performance

California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) is now offering its new MeshConnect™ Sub-G modules, built on the highly integrated circuits (ICs) for wireless applications, the Si1000 and Si1002 from Silicon Labs.

Longer Range communications
Targeting dense operating environments, CEL’s MeshConnect Sub-G modules deliver superior range and
performance. Their low power consumption enables longer battery life and their link budgets provide
reliable transmission in non line of sight applications such as lighting control, industrial sensor networks,
serial wire replacement, metering, irrigation and more. At +13 and +20 dBm power outputs, the new
Sub-G modules offer 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (Americas) ISM band options. As certified and
qualified modules, the MeshConnect Sub-G solutions eliminate the need for costly certifications,
reducing overall system cost and accelerating time to market.
Multiple software solutions support a wide variety of applications and accelerate time to market
The MeshConnect Sub-G modules support multiple software stacks including Synapse SNAP™ embedded
OS, wireless M-Bus, Silicon Labs EZMac, and CEL’s API. The SNAP software stack supports
comprehensive mesh networks with unprecedented ease of use. Targeting the European metering
market, CEL’s 868 MHz Sub-G module supports the wireless M-Bus stack.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Silicon Labs to bring such leading edge technology to market,” said Rich
Howell, Director of Business Development for CEL. “The engineering excellence that Silicon Labs brings
to market at the IC level along with CEL’s expertise in module design will produce a winning combination for our customers.”

Expanding MeshConnect Family
The new Sub-G modules add depth to the expanding family of MeshConnect products, which include the
MeshConnect System on Chip IC, the original MeshConnect module for simple 802.15.4 applications, the
MeshConnect Extended Range module and the MeshConnect EM357 for Smart Energy applications.
