SRF shield - Wireless transciever for all Arduino type boards

The Ciseco SRF shield is an exceptionally easy to use low power wireless transceiver. It’s a plug and play add-on for all Arduino style prototyping boards, it utilises standard serial to send and receive data so requires no additional libraries or drivers. It sets new levels of price and performance. Surprisingly it will work out the box with no configuration at all. The shield can support an external SMA connector for adding an antenna, therefore achieving much greater range at far lower power than WiFi, Zigbee and Bluetooth. We see this technology as being a final enabler of many Internet of Things ideas for a new generation of makers, students, inventors and engineers.

Features:

Range: 100m – with the on-board chip antenna or upto 5Km using an external antenna
Air data rate: 250Kbps over the air (can be changed)
Serial data rate: 115,200bps (can be changed)
Proven technology: Over 40 million hours in the field
Encryption: 128 bit AES (turned off by default)
Different networks: 65,000 (selectable PANID)
Network types: Point to point, point to multipoint, multipoint to point and multipoint to multipoint.
Thousands of software examples: Any Arduino project that uses the XBee for serial comms will work the same.
Over the air programming: You can program your Arduino straight from the IDE without any hardware hacks or screamer software.
Jumper free uploads: No need to remove the shield, change jumpers or flip switches when doing uploads (most XBee shields do).
Supports LLAP: LLAP is the worlds easiest way to talk to Internet of Things nodes. Example sketches can be downloaded for free, this means you can build and sell your own IoT devices which can be networked with off the shelf products.
