TLC2/RLC2
UHF Narrow Band FM Low Cost multi channel radio modules
The TLC2 transmitter RLC2 receiver
modules offer a low power, reliable data
link in an industry-standard pin out
and
footprint.
This
makes
the
TLC2/RLC2 pair ideally suited to those
low power applications where existing
wideband modules have insufficient
range, or where low cost multi-channel
operation
is
needed
without
compromising on RF specification or
regulatory requirement.
