RDT Presents Epiq Solutions Highly Integrated RF + Linux® Standalone SDR
Epiq Solutions, develop flexible radio modules, Software Defined Radio(SDR) and combine
it with dedicated applications.
This article present EPIQ Sidekiq™ Z2, new industrial grade highly integrated wideband RF
transceiver with Linux computer, miniPCIe card. Sikekiq Z2 available also on carrier card
(See table below).
The Sidekiq Z2 radically simplifies RF product development cycle, allowing engineering
teams to focus their efforts on their application.
Sidekiq Z2 is ideal for flexible small form factor radio products at low power consumption,
such as handheld RF test/measure, remote RF sensing, wireless security applications,
CubeSat/UAS datalinks, Epiq applications and more.
It support development platforms as defined at the table below:
| Sidekiq Z2 card | Sidekiq Z2 on carrier | Development platforms |
|---|---|---|
