Wide Band Multi-Channel RF Transceiver Module
Product Description
The RC1040, RC1080 and RC1090 RF Transceiver Modules are compact surface-mounted
modules for wide band FSK operation with embedded protocol. The modules are completely
shielded and pre-certified 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.
