Minimize the risk of damage and give your OEM transmitter a distinctive product look. These durable, rubberized skins provide enhanced protection from scratches, bumps, and minor falls for any Linx OEM compact or long-range handheld transmitter. The rugged skin is a perfect way to protect transmitters in challenging consumer and industrial environments. An included belt clip accommodates the extra thickness of the skin while also providing an attachment point for the optional leash. The 8.5 inch leash is fitted with a carabineer at one end and a cell phone-type loop at the other. This allows for convenient carrying alternatives or attachment to fixed equipment. The skin and belt clip are immediately available and may be ordered as a factory installed option or separately as an easily installed kit. Custom colors are available for high volume orders.

Linx Technologies Inc. today announced an RF design contest jointly sponsored with Parallax Inc. The contest is based on the new Parallax 433 Transceiver board which incorporates the Linx LT Series transceiver. This easy to use and low cost module is capable of sending and receiving serial data wirelessly between microcontrollers or to a PC, enabling the creation of applications limited only by the designer’s imagination. Three thousand dollars in cash prizes as well as numerous product giveaways will go to winning designs. Contest registration is underway and open until April 30, 2010.

Linx Technologies is pleased to introduce the SG and SR Series of GPS modules. These easily applied modules blend high performance, low power and cost effectiveness into a single, compact, SMD package. The module's SiRFstar III low-power chipset minimizes power consumption and provides exceptional sensitivity, even in dense foliage and urban canyons. The receivers feature an on-board LNA and SAW filter, as well as an integral antenna (SR Version) or external antenna (SG Version). No other RF components are needed and the module's standard NMEA data output makes them easy to integrate, even by engineers without previous RF or GPS experience. Both versions are immediately available.
