Transceiver - 2.4GHz with Built-In Antenna FCC approved ?

Wireless & IoT

does anyone know if SKU#: RF-24G, “Transceiver - 2.4GHz with Built-In Antenna” is FCC approved ?

also, i need to built a wireless device TX/RX setup or transceiver it don’t matter, with a range of at least 1000’.

there will be multiple devices like this talking to each other all in the same vicinity. so i need the ability for the same RF module to have some kind of channel selection ability.

Does anyone know of some good devices that will fit this bill without braking the bank ?

Thanks

Since the 2.4 GHz range that the RF-24G is unlicensed at the power the RF-24G operates, I can’t see any reason you would need FCC approval for the device.

The easiest way to get a transceiver with your specs would probably be to buy one commercially, but I don’t know how many of them will have that kind of range without getting sort of expensive (somebody will probably correct me here).

If you want to go the DIY route, I’m personally parital to the nRF24L01 available here at Sparkfun. In order to get 1000’ range out of it, though, you would have to couple it with a power amp chip and suitable antenna. The appnote for using an nRF2401 with an external power amp is [here.](http://www.nordicsemi.no/files/Product/white_paper/nRF2401-external-PA-feb03.pdf)

Thanks, i have turned my attention into Zigbee stuff, looks like what i want.

end-user products have to be tested and certified in a report to the FCC as Part-15 compliant. Residential or industrial classes too, for radiated and conducted emissions. Chips and modules, not.

same in most other western countries.

even your garage door opener’s remote has an FCC cert.

correct, it’s always the specifications and characteristics of a device and not an individual component, and at that power level I doubt there should be much issue.

ya, the zigbee module that i am using are FCC approved. so i am not concerned using it.
