Sub-1GHz
Texas Instruments Sub 1GHz RF Integrated Circuits are for 169MHz, 315MHz, 433MHz, 470MHz, 500MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, and 920MHz ISM band operation. These devices offer a 114km proven range solution with great sensitivity. Each device allows for co-existence and great indoor range due to low RF attenuation through building walls. These ICs support regulatory requirements such as ETSI Cat 1, FCC Part 90, ETSI EN 300 22+, FCC 15.247, and more.
Wi-Fi® Certified
Texas Instruments Embedded Wi-Fi offers solutions for performance-oriented design needs, including Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy combo, and a solution for deeply integrated embedded Wi-Fi applications. These devices are all low-power, including a solution for battery-operated Wi-Fi designs with more than a year of battery life on two AA batteries. These solutions are Wi-Fi certified, and regulatory-certified modules are available for all designs.
