Wireless RF Modules and dongles for IoT | Coral RF

Product Overview
N209AS is a cost-optimized, long-range 2.4 GHz wireless module designed for developers of battery-powered, medium-complexity IoT devices. By integrating TI's proven CC2510 SoC with the CC2592 range extender, it delivers an exceptional +20 dBm output power—enabling reliable connectivity beyond typical 2.4GHz solutions—while maintaining the low power consumption and integrated MCU benefits of a single-chip design. It's the ideal foundation for proprietary or Wireless M-Bus based applications where range, cost, and battery life are critical.

Key Features & Benefits

Enhanced Range & Reliability: The CC2592 front-end boosts output power to +20 dBm, significantly extending communication range and improving link robustness in the 2.4 GHz band.
Highly Integrated Design: The CC2510 combines an RF transceiver, enhanced 8051 MCU, programmable Flash (up to 32 kB), and RAM (up to 4 kB) on a single chip, reducing system complexity and BOM cost.
Ultra-Low Power: Features multiple low-power modes, with deep sleep current as low as 1 µA, enabling multi-year operation on battery power.
Protocol Flexibility: Ready for integration with IEEE 802.15.4, Wireless M-Bus (T/S/C modes), 6LoWPAN, and proprietary stacks, accelerating time-to-market.
Compact & Easy to Integrate: Small 32 x 18 x 3 mm SMD package with integrated antenna options (PCB trace or IPEX connector), simplifying PCB layout.
