SI4463 RF Transceiver (868 MHz)

Overview

This product is a useful SI4463 RF transceiver for data transmission over long distances with lower power consumption. The trend lately sent to new technology that adapts to little monitoring and data transmission over long distances.

The module can be used for point to point communications, such as controlling a vineyard by measuring various parameters in several areas (humidity, soil acidity, temperature).
