1. Features
Ultra-low power consumption:
It supports WOR, which suits for battery power supply. In power-saving mode (Mode 2), the overall
power consumption can be regulated by setting receiving response delay and its maximum is 2000ms. The average current is about
30uA.
Fixed transmission:
Module can communicate with other modules which work in different channels and addresses. It makes
networking and repeater easy. For example: module A transmits AA BB CC to module B (address: 0x00 01, channel: 0x80). The HEX
format is 00 01 80 AA BB CC (00 01 refers to the address of module B, and 80 refers to the channel of module B). Then module B
receives AA BB CC (only module B).
Broadcast transmission:
When the module address is set as 0xFFFF, the module can communicate with other modules in the
same channel.
FEC:
Forward Error Correction has high coding efficiency & good correction performance. In case of sudden interference, it can
correct the interfered data packets proactively, so that the reliability & transmission range are improved correspondingly. Without
FEC, those data packets can only be dropped.
Sleep mode:
When the module works in sleep mode (Mode 3), it is available for configuration, but not for transmitting &
receiving. The typical current is 2.0uA in this mode.
Application:
Compared with 2.4G, it is better in penetration and diffraction but less in speed rate. It is applicable in the open air
and places with a few obstacles.
