Texas Instruments announced a sub-1 GHz radio frequency (RF) value line plug-in-board for TI’s MSP430 microcontroller LaunchPad development kit. The 430BOOST-CC110L RF BoosterPack includes ETSI-compliant and FCC-certified modules to help speed development time, reduce certification costs and eliminate barriers associated with the RF hardware design process.

The RF BoosterPack and MSP430 LaunchPad offer developers affordable solutions for cost-sensitive sub-1 GHz RF applications such as remote controls, toys, home and building automation, and security systems. The 430BOOST-CC110L is available today for $19, and the MSP430 LaunchPad is separately available for $4.30.

The RF module included on the RF BoosterPack is separately available as an ETSI-compliant and FCC-certified production-ready module. The A110LR09A RF module is available from TI third party developer Anaren, and can be tested using the 430BOOST-CC110L development tool.
