N536DS 169MHz High-Power Wireless Module
Product Overview
The N536DS is a dedicated, high-performance wireless module optimized for the 169MHz ISM band, integrating the Texas Instruments CC1311R3 microcontroller with an efficient Power Amplifier (PA) and Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA). This combination delivers an exceptional +33 dBm (2W) output power and superior -112 dBm sensitivity, enabling robust, long-range communication ideal for utility and industrial applications across regions where the 169MHz band is allocated, such as the EU and China.
Key Features
Dedicated 169MHz Band: Engineered for optimal performance in the 160-175 MHz spectrum, offering a stable, long-range link with reduced interference.
Exceptional High Power & Range: +33 dBm output power supports communication distances up to 8 kilometers line-of-sight.
Excellent Receiver Performance: -112 dBm sensitivity (at 50 kbps) ensures reliable data reception even at low signal levels.
Ultra-Low Power Operation: Leverages the CC1311R3's power-efficient architecture, featuring a sleep current as low as 1 µA for battery-powered devices with multi-year lifespans.
Robust Industrial Design: 4-layer PCB with professional impedance control and integrated LNA enhances signal integrity and anti-interference capability.
Full Development Access: All CC1311R3 pins (GPIO, UART, SPI) are accessible for secondary development and custom firmware integration.
Applications
Smart Utility Metering: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for water, gas, and electricity.
Industrial IoT & Sensor Networks: Remote monitoring and control in utility and industrial settings.
Long-Range Telemetry: Data acquisition and control systems requiring reliable, low-interference communication.
