TI has its CC1101 SPI module(EVM--evaluation) for $49
a piece. I'd like to order some low-cost CC110x SPI
module for my designs in high volume, so far I failed
to find any in USA. I hope it can reach Tx >10mW.
I'm looking for something like the CYWM6934 SPI
module(using cypress 2.4Ghz radio) but at
315/433/866/915Mhz for longer range, the reason is
that I do not want to go through the costly FCC
process for the radio before I really have to.
The price(>1000) should be about $7 each. For the time
being, I just could not find any SPI-module using TI's
CC110x silicon. I located some vendors in China but
they had no FCC-approval whatsoever.
Any suggestions that I can find such SPI modules?
Thanks!
Gordon

CC110x SPI module

The CC110x reaches a maximum of 10dBm. If you want more power you will
have to add an external power amplifier (and switch).
You can order up to 5 kits (2 modules each) for $100 each online at
TI's web site.
How about building your own test module? I did. I found all the
components I needed on digikey and followed the CC1100 868/915MHz
reference design. I just changed the size of the components from 0402
to 0805 (and one 0603).I also had to change the crystal type since I
could'n find a 26MHz crystal in HC49 format.
I reached over 200 metres at about +5dBm on my first field test with a
very basic program. Building my own kit gave me the advantage of using
the connector that best suited my needs.
Apart from the CC1100, the only other high-cost component is the 26MHz
crystal (not counting the antenna), for about 0.98 each in 1000 units
(1.93 for one unit). I couldn't find a cheaper one.

Thanks Michael, I will build one for myself when it
justifies(schedule,cost,etc). For now I need a pair of
SPI-module(no MCU on it) to get software going.
For reasons I don't know, I order a pair of 10mw
CC1100 radio(again no MCU, just SPI interface) and
another pair of 50mw CC1100(don't know how they did it
to reach 50mw), and they're the same price. about $8.

Hi Gordon,
I am looking for just such a module to use as a learning platform. Can you
share where you found them? Are they commercially available?
Thanks,

i did not get mine yet, i am asking a friend in the
same city who also works in the same field to reach
them and buy some from them.
as i said, i need a few for software devel, and will
try to build the spi-module for myself eventually,
partially due to the ongoing weakening US dollar.
stuff exported from China is getting expensive these
days, in my opinion.
