Overview

The RC1880CEF-SPR is a sub-1GHz RIIoT (Radiocrafts Industrial IoT) transceiver module designed for the 868MHz and 915MHz bands. Built on the IEEE 802.15.4 g/e standards, it provides a complete wireless networking solution with an emphasis on long-range reliability and ultra-low power consumption for industrial environments. The module features an integrated 128kB Flash and 20kB RAM, supporting complex network stacks and local data processing via its programmable GPIOs and serial interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

This module offers a high link budget with 14dBm output power and -124dBm sensitivity, achieving long-range communication without high current draw. It simplifies development by including a 4kB EEPROM for non-volatile storage and multiple hardware interfaces (I2C, UART, SPI) in a compact 12.7mm x 25.4mm surface-mount package. The RIIoT protocol stack ensures reliable delivery through automatic acknowledgments and retransmissions.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Networks
Ideal for wide-area monitoring where -124dBm sensitivity and frequency hopping enable reliable data collection in RF-noisy environments.
Battery-Powered Smart Meters
Low power consumption profiles, including a 1.7uA sleep mode, allow for multi-year operation on coin cell batteries.
Asset Tracking
Utilizes the 8km line-of-sight range at low data rates to track equipment across large industrial yards or campuses.
Building Automation
Connects HVAC and lighting controllers using CBOR data encoding and AES128 security for efficient, secure building management.

Getting Started

Developers can utilize the Radiocrafts SDK to quickly implement the RIIoT protocol and custom application logic. The module is typically integrated by connecting it to a host controller via UART or I2C, or by using the 9 programmable GPIOs for standalone sensor interfacing. Ensure a proper 50-ohm antenna is connected to the castellation pins, as an antenna is not included on the module.
