N532AS-B: CC1310 + skyworks PA 868/915MHz Low Cost Wireless Module – 27dBm, AT Commands
The N532AS-B is a compact, high-performance 868/915MHz wireless module integrating Texas Instruments’ CC1310 wireless MCU with an external power amplifier (PA). Designed for cost-sensitive, long-range applications, it delivers +27 dBm output power and an excellent -124 dBm sensitivity, achieving up to 2 km line-of-sight communication. The module supports 868 M / 915 MHz ISM bands and is available in an SMD package for automated assembly. With all pins brought out and AT command support, the N532AS-B drastically reduces RF design effort and accelerates time‑to‑market.
