A sub-1GHz RF plug-in-board for Texas Instrument's MSP430 microcontroller LaunchPad development kit is now available. The 430BOOST-CC110L RF BoosterPack includes ETSI-compliant and FCC-certified modules to help speed development time and reduce certification costs, claims the company. The BoosterPack and LaunchPad can be used by developers of cost-sensitive, sub-1 GHz RF applications such as security systems, as well as for remote controls, toys, home and building automation. As well as the ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers being combined with sub-1GHz RF transceivers, the BoosterPack's RF module js available separately as an ETSI-compliant and FCC-certified production-ready module. The A110LR09A RF module is available from third party developer Anaren and can be tested using the 430BOOST-CC110L development tool.
