2 Welcome to the Products & Services of About Linx Phone: (541) FAX: (541) From all of us here at Linx Technologies, thank you for your interest in learning more about our rapidly growing company. The following section will provide a brief insight into our history, vision and future. Our History Founded in 1994, Linx Technologies is a privately held growth-mode corporation consisting of three divisions. The first and primary division, Linx Technologies, shares the corporate name and specializes in low-cost wireless modules and OEM RF product solutions. The second division, Antenna Factor, specializes in cost-effective standard and custom antennas for consumer and industrial wireless products. Finally, a third division, Connector City, provides world-class standard and custom connectors and cable assemblies for high-volume OEM applications. Our Vision Radio Frequency (RF) is a complex science requiring a unique grasp of both advanced technical issues and complex legal requirements; thus, adding wireless capabilities to a product has traditionally been a costly and time-consuming proposition. This has limited the widespread use of RF and prevented many potentially useful products from reaching production. Here at Linx, we believe that every engineer, regardless of training and experience, should have the option of using RF technology. That s why Wireless Made Simple is more than just a motto... It s our commitment. A commitment to offering the highest quality RF products designed to provide a simple and cost-effective path to making any product wireless. Through its three divisions, Linx Technologies, Inc., is positioned to take advantage of the exploding wireless market it helped to create. We believe that our vision for enabling engineers of all skill levels in diverse industries to harness the power of RF will allow Linx continued recognition as a leader in RF solutions.

Linx RF modules make it easy and cost-effective to add wireless capabilities to your product. That s because Linx modules contain all the components necessary for the transmission of RF. Since no external components (except an antenna) are needed, the modules are easily applied, even by persons lacking previous RF design experience. This conserves valuable engineering resources and greatly reduces the product's time to market. Once in production, the savings continue because Linx RF modules improve production yields, reduce placement costs, and require no production testing or adjustment.

Kit Includes 6 Chip Antennas 1 Evaluation Board Antenna Data Guide HE (HELICAL ELEMENT) SERIES HE Series antennas are designed for direct PCB mounting. Thanks to the HE s compact size they are ideal for internal concealment inside a product's housing. The HE is also very low in cost, making it well-suited to high-volume application. HE Series antennas have a very narrow bandwidth (approximately 10MHz of the specified center frequency); thus, care in placement and layout is required. In addition, they are not as efficient as whipstyle antennas, so they are generally better suited to use on the transmitter end where attenuation is often required anyway. Use on both transmitter and receiver ends is recommended only in instances where a short range (>30% of whip style) is acceptable.

RF products are unusual in that they involve not only such technical issues but issues of legality as well. Many manufacturers have avoided incorporating RF into their products as a result of uncertainty and even fear of such matters. In order to address these concerns and simplify each customer s design cycle, Linx has attempted to identify any step in the RF implementation process that may cause delay or frustration. We have then tailored a service to simplify that step. While such services are unusual for a high-volume component manufacturer, they are all a part of the Linx commitment to Making Wireless Simple. 8.4 (.328") 6.3 (.246") 0.6 (.023") 16.9 (.660") RPSMA PCB EDGE-MOUNT RIGHT-ANGLE JACK RECEPTACLE W/FLANGE CONREVSMA (0.25") 7.0 (0.275") 7.0 (0.275") 7.70 (.300") 1/4-36 THREADS 1.2 (.050") 4.5 (.175") 1.2 (.050") 3.9 (.152") 1.27 terminal (.05") 7.0 (0.275") 1.02 (.04") 1.63 (.064") 7.93 (.31") 8.3 (.325") 8.3 (.325") 20.4 (.786") 6.0 (.225") 1.02 (.04") 4.06 (.158") 7.93 (.309") Page 86 Page 87

45 ADDITIONAL SERVICES ADDITIONAL SERVICES FCC PRESCREEN SERVICES The most difficult obstacle to overcome when bringing an RF-based product to market, aside from the design itself, is the approval process. To ensure a customer the best opportunity to pass FCC testing, Linx offers unique low-cost pre-compliance testing services. Using our state-of-the-art Hewlett Packard EMC-compliancy test system, a product is screened just as it will be during actual FCC testing. In addition to this screen, the actual design is evaluated by a Linx engineer to ensure that it is both legal and technically optimized. A prescreen report is then generated summarizing our findings and recommendations. This report, along with additional documentation, will ease your preparations for final approval testing. INTERNET SITE If you have questions regarding any Linx product, and have internet access, make your first stop. Our website is organized in an intuitive format to give you the answers you need in record time. Day or night, the Linx website gives you instant access to the latest information regarding the products and services of Linx. It's all here: manual and software updates, application notes, FCC information and much more. Be sure to visit soon! OEM MODIFICATIONS ANTENNA DESIGN ASSISTANCE Page 88 As a rule Linx does not undertake the design or manufacture of customer-specific products; however, many products can be modified for high-volume applications. Our OEM product lines are especially suited to such modifications. Company logos, custom colors and nomenclature are all ways that Linx products can be adapted to meet the needs of an individual customer. Custom antennas, cables, and connectors can also be provided through Linx s Antenna Factor and Connector City divisions. Linx offers a complete variety of standard antenna styles that will meet the needs of most users applications. Occasionally a design will call for a custom antenna to meet physical or cosmetic constraints. Since the design of application-specific antennas calls for experience and equipment outside the scope of many of our customers, Linx offers antenna design services. These services range from assistance evaluation of a customer s antenna configuration to actual antenna design. One of our most popular design specialties is small printed antennas that are often incorporated directly on a PCB to reduce cost and eliminate a visible antenna. IMPLEMENTATION ASSISTANCE While Linx does not undertake OEM design projects in most instances, our engineers have broad experience in almost every area of design and manufacturing. Linx is pleased to offer our customers the benefit of that experience as it pertains to the integration of Linx RF products into a product design. EDUCATION At Linx we believe that our best customer is an informed customer. That is why our comprehensive manuals are supported by a growing library of informative application notes. Linx application notes are designed to provide guidance on the effective application of its products across a broad range of applications. Many different topics are discussed in a fashion inappropriate for the device data sheet, from matters to consider before embarking on a design to complete overviews of legal and technical issues affecting wireless products. Backed by the assistance of experienced support personnel, each customer has an opportunity to learn about our products and the basic principles of RF whereby they work. Application notes may be downloaded from or obtained by contacting the Linx literature department. Page 89 ADDITIONAL SERVICES 8
