Transmitting and Receiving Simultaneously (Bidirectional Transceivers)

Can LISNR Radius listen and broadcast tones simultaneously? Can regular Transmitters/Receivers be used with Transceivers?

Yes, the Radius 2.0.0 SDK has Transceiver (Transmitter and Receiver) functionality. This allows sending and receiving of tones simultaneously on separate non-overlapping frequency channels.

The following configurations (transceiver types) can be selected in the LISNR SDK:

  • Transmit with standard2 wideband and receive with pkab2

    • Ex. Transmitting small identifier and receiving a confirmation payload from a nearby device

  • Transmit with pkab2 and receive with standard2 wideband

    • Ex. Transmitting a payment payload and receiving a confirmation response

  • Transmit with pkab2 and receive with pkab2 (higher and lower frequencies)

    • Ex. Transmitting an ATM transaction payload and receiving account balance

Two Transceiver objects should be used together to send bidirectional data. On the other hand, Transmitters and Receivers should be used together to send unidirectional data.

Transceivers and individual Transmitters or Receivers CAN NOT be used together because the corresponding frequencies of the transceiver types VS tone profiles are not configured to work with one another.
