STMicroelectronics SPSGRFC programmable transceiver module

The SPSGRFC is an easy-to-use sub-1 GHz transceiver certified module with many programmable features. The module provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor. The module can operate at the 433, 868 or 915 MHz frequency band, SPSGRFC-433, SPSGRFC-868 and SPSGRFC-915, respectively. It is CE, FCC and IC certified and integrates wireless connectivity in target electronic devices without requiring particular RF experience or expertise. The on-board U.FL connector ensures an extended range by using an external antenna.
