RF Solutions ZULUArduino Telemetry Evaluation Board, 868MHz, 2km Range

The RF Solutions ZULUArduino is a powerful RF telemetry evaluation board that provides a robust radio (modem) link, enabling wireless communication over distances of up to 2 km. This range can be extended further with the use of a suitable antenna. Designed for ease of use, the ZULUArduino handles all RF operations automatically, including error checking, allowing it to be treated as a simple, reliable communications device.

This shield is ready for plug-and-play operation with default settings configured for a serial port at 4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, utilising hardware CTS/RTS handshaking. It is also fully compatible with the RF Solutions Blizzard Modem, offering flexibility for various project requirements.
