Hi. We are starting a RF-link project with these requeriments:
1 - Data rate: >= 200 kbps
2 - We have to take measurements in our PCB using an ADC and transmit them to another RF chip.
3 - Range: 0 to > 100 km . (line of sigth, we are planning to use an antena with an important gain)
4 - Frequency: later 800MHz or around 900 MHz
First we choose CC1310 because it has a MCU on-chip that makes our PCB smaller and a little less expensive because the MCU is pretty good. The problem I found (in digikey and in datasheet) is that the maximum data rate of CC1310 is about 50 kbps and not all frequencies are available. Also, the chip is new, so I'm not sure if it is recommended to use it with new designs.
It seems that the chip that best fits our requeriments is CC1200, instead we have to add a MCU (perhaps we can use a MSP430 like in the evaluation board). What do you think, gurus? I really appreciate your concern helping me to choose the rigth/best option.I have read some application notes but if you want to recommend me some documents, I'll be glad.
Regards, Santiago
