Image of Radiocrafts' RC1180-MBUS3 RF Module Radiocrafts' RC1180-MBUS RF transceiver module is a compact surface-mounted high-performance module with embedded Wireless M-Bus protocol. The module has a UART interface for serial communication and configuration and a one-pin antenna connection. The module is pre-certified for operation under the European radio regulations for license-free use and measures only 12.7 mm x 25.4 mm x 3.7 mm with shielding. The RC1180-MBUS meets the Wireless M-Bus specification S, T, and R2 modes, and operates in 12 channels in the 868 MHz frequency band.

An RF module from Radiocrafts is compatible with the latest additions to the Wireless M-Bus standard and is an active contributor of technical expertise to the standardization work, both at the European level (CEN) and the national level (OMS and WIZE).
