🛒 Available Models
N516CS-B-868M: 860-880MHz (EU, etc.)
N516CS-B-915M: 910-960MHz (Americas, etc.)
⚠️ Implementation Notes
Dual Power Supplies: Provide separate 3.3V (VCC) and ~3.6V (VCCPA) supplies.
Control Logic: Never enable both PAEN and LNAEN simultaneously. Follow recommended control sequences.
Antenna: Use a quality 50Ω antenna matched to your operating frequency for best performance.
Thermal: Consider heat dissipation for continuous high-power transmission.
The N516CS-B delivers reliable, high-power wireless connectivity for applications demanding both range and control precision in industrial environments.
