The TEK Z-LINK is a flexible transmit-receive module for the TEK Z-RADIO 2.4GHz System. The Z-
LINK is primarily intended as a Coordinator to extend the range of the other modules (up to 200 feet),
but would make a fine platform for general purpose node use where the larger size battery, more
interfaces and large program memory are required. It has enough memory to run RFD, FFD,
Coordinator or Router. Pre-programmed Active Tag transmit-receive firmware is installed. Customers
are encouraged to modify the firmware to suit custom applications using the source code files supplied.
Applications range form industrial monitoring and animal tagging to educational projects.
