Low-Power RF    
LPRF devices cover 2 frequency ranges:
  • CC10XX/CC11xx - Sub 1GHz, ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and frequency bands at 315, 433, 868 and 915MHz
  • CC24xx and CC25xx -2.4GHz, ISM and SRD band: 2,400 - 2,483.5MHz

Using the CC11xx and CC25xx devices, students can develop their own proprietary MAC and network layers. With free downloadable software and a development kit, you are able to test range, data rates and modulation/transmission techniques straight out of the box. Once you are satisfied with the performance of the radio, you can connect your own MCU to a transceiver, or program the SoC CPU, to start developing your project immediately.
