The ANT C7 module is a drop-in module based on the reference design of CC2571, an 8 channel ANT network processor from Texas Instruments. An F antenna is integrated on the small-sized 20mm by 20mm board.
Fully-Certified ANT RF Modules Enable Fast Time to Market
The module has been certified to comply with radio regulation or standards covering global markets that include North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The RF certified module eases the burden for application and system developers from extensive RF and antenna design, and regulatory compliance testing, allowing for quicker time to the market. The module is ideal to build control or hub nodes of a wireless sensor network.
