1.4. Theory of Operation
The A110LR09A and A110LR09C are for low power wireless applications in the European 868
– 870MHz, and US 902 – 928MHz ISM band. The devices can be used to implement a variety
of networks, including; point to point, point to multipoint, peer to peer and mesh networks.
The A110LR09A and A110LR09C both interface to an application microcontroller via an SPI
bus. Physical and MAC layer functionality are accessed via the SPI bus through addressable
registers as well as execution commands. Data received, or to be transmitted, are also
