N534DP CC1311R3 USB Radio Dongle (169 MHz ISM Band)
Product Overview
The N534DP is a versatile USB 169Mhz radio dongle adapter based on the Texas Instruments CC1311R3 wireless microcontroller. This model is specifically configured for operation within the 169 MHz ISM band, making it an ideal plug-and-play RF-to-USB gateway for long-range, robust wireless applications in smart metering, utility monitoring, and European industrial IoT systems.
Key Features
Dedicated 169 MHz Band: Optimized for the European 169.4-169.475 MHz SRD (Short Range Device) band, offering excellent propagation characteristics for long-range and non-line-of-sight communication.
High-Performance Core: Powered by the TI CC1311R3, featuring an ARM Cortex-M4F for application processing and an integrated RF core for low-power operation.
Plug-and-Play USB Interface: Enumerates as a standard COM port (CDC) via an integrated USB bridge chip, requiring no external drivers on most operating systems.
Robust RF Design: 4-layer PCB with professional impedance matching and shielding ensures reliable performance in noisy environments.
Developer-Friendly: It features a programmer LED, a user button, and debug headers for full custom firmware development and integration.
Compact & Low Power: Housed in a compact shell (45x19x8 mm), it is bus-powered via USB with low current consumption (30 mA TX, 15 mA RX).

Product Line Positioning: Find Your Fit
The N537BP is designed for a fundamentally different development path compared to our full-stack dongles adpter.
Choose the N537 Series (N537BP/N537EP) if you are building a unique, proprietary protocol and have the resources for full-stack development.
Choose the N534DP if your project requires standard protocols for 169Mhz(like Wi-SUN or Wireless M-Bus) or your primary goal is to larger development time, cost, and risk.
