- Ready RF Transceiver Modules
Product Description
The RC241x and RC241xHP RF Transceiver Modules are a series of compact surface-
mounted modules specially designed for the ZigBee® PRO protocol stack. It can also be
used for wireless star and mesh networks based on an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant PHY and
MAC.
The complete shielded module is only 16.5 x 35.6 x 3.5 mm and comes in both a low-power
consuming variant (RC241x) and a High Power version with LNA and power amplifier for
extended range (RC241xHP). The two variants are pin compatible. The module is available
with integrated antenna or RF connector (U.FL type)
