When starting a Sub-1GHz wireless project, the choice of development board can make or break your timeline. A good board should not only showcase the chip’s capabilities but also provide a solid foundation for software development, RF testing, and eventual production migration.
At Coral RF, we’ve designed our CC1310 development boards to meet exactly these needs — combining the proven performance of Texas Instruments’ CC1310 wireless MCU with practical features that accelerate your time to market.
The Texas Instruments CC1310 is a highly integrated wireless MCU designed for Sub-1GHz connectivity. It offers:
ARM® Cortex®-M3 core up to 48 MHz
Integrated RF transceiver supporting multiple physical layers (GFSK, MSK, OOK)
Ultra-low power consumption – ideal for battery-powered IoT sensors
Excellent sensitivity down to -124 dBm
Flexible frequency support from 169MHz to 960MHz
CC1310 has become a go-to choice for industrial monitoring, smart metering, building automation, and agricultural sensing applications.
Our CC1310 development board is designed for engineers who need a reliable, easy-to-use platform for prototyping and software development.

Coral RF offers customization services for CC1310-based products, including:
Frequency tuning ( 433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, etc.)
Shield branding or custom logo
Form factor and pinout adjustments
Pre-certification support (FCC, CE, SRRC)
A high-quality development board does more than just hold the chip. It provides:
Poor PCB layout can cripple even the best RF chip. Our CC1310 boards feature carefully tuned matching networks, proper grounding, and well-designed antenna traces to ensure that your RF performance matches the datasheet.
We break out all GPIO, SPI, UART, I²C, and ADC pins, allowing you to connect sensors, displays, and other peripherals without soldering or modifying the board.
With onboard USB-to-UART and standard JTAG/SWD headers, you can flash and debug using TI’s Code Composer Studio, IAR Embedded Workbench, or open-source toolchains like VS Code with PlatformIO.
We provide example firmware projects covering:
Basic RF TX/RX
Low-power modes
Sensor interfacing
Over-the-air firmware update (OTA) foundations
This lets you focus on your application logic rather than low-level register configuration.
Our customers use CC1310 development boards across a wide range of industries:
| Application | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Smart Metering | Long range, low power, reliable data collection |
| Industrial Sensors | Robust Sub-1GHz links in noisy environments |
| Building Automation | Lighting, HVAC, and access control systems |
| Agricultural IoT | Wide-area sensor networks covering large fields |
| Asset Tracking | Low-power tags with long battery life |
A development board is often the first step toward a custom product. Coral RF supports this journey with:
Reference designs (schematics, layout files) based on our CC1310 module platforms
Custom module services – from form factor changes to full integration with external PAs
Certification support – helping you navigate FCC, CE, and SRRC testing
Whether you need 100 units for a pilot or 100,000 for mass production, we have a path forward.
