New radio transceivers offer a quantum leap in performance and efficiency

EnOcean sets new benchmarks in the wireless technology landscape with its latest radio transceiver family. The new TCM 600 and TCM 615 devices deliver significantly more memory and much higher computation power. At the same time, they lower energy consumption even further. These new wireless transceivers allow the creation of next-generation, differentiated products based on the company's technology.

"This latest wireless device family further extends the leadership of EnOcean products in creating a smart, connected and sustainable world. With a significant performance boost, TCM 600 and TCM 615 enable differentiated applications based on the latest EnOcean technology," says Matthias Kassner, vice president product marketing at EnOcean GmbH.

The devices provide up to four times the computation power and up to eight times the available user application memory compared to the previous TCM 3xx and TCM 5xx product generations, dramatically expanding the available resources for user applications.

The TCM 615 provides a simple, compact, and cost-effective way to add the company's radio communication functionality to OEM customer solutions. It is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous TCM 515 device and employs the same well-established ESP3 interface protocol. Users can, therefore, directly upgrade existing designs from TCM 515 to TCM 615 without the necessity for hardware or software redesign and thereby immediately benefit from the latest functionality.

With the TCM 600, customers can combine their own applications with the latest radio communication technology from the company in the same module. Therefore, This solution is ideal for implementing space-constrained wireless applications such as ultra-compact relays and dimmers.

"EnOcean continues to lead the way for a connected world that is both smart and sustainable. The increased performance enables new, feature-rich applications based on the latest security requirements while the reduced energy consumption further enhances the energy savings realised by EnOcean solutions," Kassner states. Upholding the commitment EnOcean has towards sustainable solutions, this latest generation reduces power consumption by up to 50%, which significantly improves the energy footprint of connected solutions.

The devices implement the open, industry-leading company's radio communication standards ISO1453-3-10 and ISO14543-3-11. This standard is characterised by high reliability and very low power consumption, thanks to the use of small, redundant messages, making it ideal for energy harvesting and low-power applications.

"With its latest radio transceiver family, EnOcean is underlining its strong commitment to the EnOcean Alliance ecosystem. Both TCM 600 and TCM 615 significantly extend the performance and sustainability envelope and, therefore, represent an important milestone for sustainable wireless connectivity. Thanks to their enhanced performance, focus on sustainability and space efficiency, these modules are ideal for the implementation of a wide range of solutions that are both technologically advanced and environmentally conscious," Kassner summarises.

Samples of devices for testing are available.
