RF Modules FAQ
How do I choose between Radiocrafts' wireless technologies?
Pick by use case.
- Wireless M-Bus and Wize are the European standards for utility metering.
- mioty is suited to massive scale and high-interference environments.
- RIIM is the choice for low latency control applications needing wireless long range mesh networks!
- RC232 and Tinymesh suit simpler point-to-point or mesh links.
- KNX, ZigBee and Sigfox are available where the application or installed base requires them. Usually Building or home automation applications.
The free Wireless Connectivity Technologies Selection Guide (AN045) walks you through the trade-offs.
Are all Radiocrafts RF modules pre-certified?
Yes. All standard RF modules are shipped pre-certified for the relevant ISM bands, including CE/RED, FCC, IC and other country-specific approvals. This removes the most expensive and time-consuming part of bringing a wireless product to market and is one of the main reasons customers choose modules over chip-down designs.

What is the difference between an RF module and a chip design?
An RF module bundles the RF transceiver, microcontroller, antenna interface, matching components and a tested firmware stack into a single, certified package.
A chip design requires the OEM to do RF layout, EMC testing, antenna tuning and certification themselves.
RF modules are faster to market and reduce project risk. The trade-off is a slightly higher per-unit cost compared to a fully optimised in-house design.
Do Radiocrafts modules require licence fees or subscriptions?
No. The RF modules and embedded protocol stacks (RIIM, Wireless M-Bus, RC232, Tinymesh, mioty and the rest) are sold as one-time hardware purchases. There is no per-message, per-device or per-network subscription.
The exceptions are technologies with their own external service ecosystems, such as Sigfox, where the network operator’s terms apply.
Which frequency bands and regions are supported?
Supported bands include:
- 169 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz (EU)
- 915 MHz (US/Americas, parts of APAC)
- 2.4 GHz (worldwide)
Specific module variants are tuned and certified for each band.
Does Radiocrafts offer Development Kits?
Yes. Every active product family has a Development Kit. Kits include RF modules, development boards, antennas, battery holders, USB cables and example code.
They are designed so an engineer can have a working prototype network running within a couple of hours. Kits are available for order directly with us or via Digi-Key.
