RADIO FREQUENCY

RF

Radio frequency (RF) module nRF24L01 is a low-power, low-cost 2.4GHz wireless transceiver suitable for short-range wireless communication. It supports multiple data rates and multi-channel operation, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and offers a longer transmission distance. Compared to Wifi, radio frequency features low latency, low power consumption, and is more suitable for applications requiring real-time data transmission.
