Plug-and-play simplicity: No wireless software development needed, just send commands from any MCU over UART.

RF-ready with onboard antenna: RF design is complicated, but with the RNBD451PE module, you don’t have to worry about it. The RNBD451PE module comes with an on-board PCB antenna built for optimal RF performance, saving you time and RF-design hassle.

Global regulatory-certified: RF certification can take a lot of time and money. RNBD451PE modules are pre-certified in US, Canada, Europe, Taiwan, China, Japan, and Korea. Choosing a pre-certified module bypasses the certification process allowing you to focus on your product.
