ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358x-LRS
©2014 Telegesis (UK) Ltd - 4 - ETRX358x-LRS Product Manual
The Telegesis ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS
modules are low power 2.4GHz ZigBee modules with an added
frontend module (SiGe SE2432L) containing both PA and LNA
for highest possible link budget.
Based on the latest Ember EM358x family of single chip ZigBee
solutions the new long range modules are footprint compatible
with the entire Telegesis ETRX3 family, thus representing a
drop-in replacement for all applications where a high link
budget is required.
The module’s unique AT-style command line interface allows
designers to quickly integrate ZigBee technology without
complex software engineering. For custom application
development the ETRX358x series integrates with ease into
Ember’s InSight development environment.

At power-up the last configuration is loaded from non-
volatile S-Registers, which can eliminate the need for an
additional host controller.
