Remote control of motor using C2000 MCU

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8301, CC1350, CC1310

I will be using the  LAUNCHXL-F28069M and two DRV8301 motor drive to control two motors for the use of lifting and moving a hovercraft. The lift fan will just stay at a contact rpm to lift the hovercraft the desired amount but my group and I would like to be able to control the movement of the vehicle with a remote control. We had previously considered bluetooth but think it will be to unreliable at longer distances. What would be the best alternative to bluetooth, like RF control etc, and how would we do so with the given MCU and motor drivers? When suggesting part TI parts are preferred.

    RF control should be a good solution, such as CC1310, CC1350.

    To expand on Yanming's answer, you'll need an SoC that has an onboard host for the wireless communications protocol, as most of the wireless softtware stacks are not compatible for C2000 architecture. The CC1310 & CC1350 are the best options as they have an included ARM core to host the software necessary to drive the network front end MCU. You can use UART or SPI to communicate from the C2000 to the CC13xx devices.
