Radio Frequency allows data to be transmitted wirelessly over a greater distance than other wireless methods. Integrating it into your project is easy, and we've got plenty of ready-to-go modules.
Transceivers
RF transceiver allows signals to be both transmitted and received. They're incredibly handy for all kinds of projects involving wireless communication.
PiicoDev Transceiver 915MHzUnlock wireless communication up to 100m with this long-range transceiver.
- APC220 Radio Communication ModuleSKU: TEL0005 Brand: DFRobotThe APC220 radio module provides a simple and economic solution to wireless data communications. The employment of an embedded high speed microprocessor and high performance IC creates a transparent UART/TTL interface, and elminates any need for packetizing and data encoding.

Receivers
If you only need to receive data at a certain frequency, then a simple RF receiver is perfect. Be sure to pair it with a transmitter of the same frequency.
- RF Link Receiver - 4800bps (434MHz)SKU: WRL-10532 Brand: SparkfunThese wireless receivers work with our 434MHz transmitters. They can easily fit into a breadboard and work well with microcontrollers to create a very simple wireless data link. Since these are only receivers, they will only work communicating data one-way, you would need two pairs (of different frequencies) to act as a transmitter/receiver pair.
Connectors & Adaptors
Whether it's extending your current antenna, or using different connector types, we've got all kinds of connectors and adaptors to suit your project.
