N539DS 5-Watt CC1311 RF Module: The Ultimate Long-Range Solution for 169MHz Networks
N539DS 5-Watt CC1311 RF Module:
The Ultimate Long-Range Solution for 169MHz Networks
Introduction: Power Redefined for Sub-GHz Connectivity
The N539DS is a high-performance, single-band RF module engineered for applications demanding maximum range and reliability in the 169MHz frequency band. Built around Texas Instruments' robust CC1311 wireless MCU and integrated with a high-efficiency Power Amplifier (PA), this module delivers an exceptional +37 dBm (5 Watts) of output power. Designed for challenging environments, it is the ideal wireless backbone for smart utility networks (AMI/AMR), industrial telemetry, long-range sensor networks, and agricultural monitoring where penetration and distance are critical.
Key Features & Benefits
Unmatched Output Power: With +37 dBm (5000 mW) transmit power, the N539DS achieves industry-leading communication range, capable of reaching 15,000+ meters (Line of Sight) under optimal conditions.
Optimized for 169MHz: Dedicated to the 169MHz band, it leverages excellent propagation characteristics for superior wall and foliage penetration compared to higher frequencies, ensuring reliable connectivity in urban and rural settings.
Exceptional Link Robustness: Features outstanding receiver sensitivity (down to -124 dBm at low data rates) and high blocking performance, providing a stable and interference-resistant link for critical data transmission.
Low Power Consumption: Leverages the CC1311's ultra-low-power architecture, with features like enhanced Wake-On-Radio (eWOR), enabling years of battery life for remote, power-constrained endpoints.
Simplified Integration: Comes in a compact, ready-to-use SMD package (36x24x3mm) with a clear SPI interface. This turn-key solution significantly reduces RF design complexity, certification efforts, and time-to-market.
