Transceiver only modules
These modules don't including a processing unit. They are generally lower in price and enable the integrator to choose any MCU solution. However, potentially more work is required integrating the MCU and module.Manufacturer | Module | Transceiver Chip | Antenna | Sleep | TX | RX | TX Power | Sensitivity | PCB Size | Released | Interfacing | Protocol stacks |
