RC1040/1090

Wide Band Multi-Channel RF Transceiver Module
Product Description
The RC10xx RF Transceiver Modules are compact surface-mounted modules for wide band
FSK operation with embedded protocol. The modules are completely shielded and designed
for operation under the European and US radio regulations for license-free use. When used
with quarter-wave antennas a line-of-sight range of 500 meter can be achieved at 433 MHz.
