Our Review
After integrating the NRF24L01+ Wireless Transceiver Module for Arduino 2.4GHz Antenna Module NRF24L01 for ISM Microcontroll into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Frequency: 2.4 GHz ISM band, Data Rate: 250kbps / 1Mbps / 2Mbps, Range: up to 100m (open air).
Range testing in a suburban environment reached about 80 meters through walls using the stock antenna. In open air, 200+ meters was achievable at reduced data rate.
The communication link proved reliable in our 48-hour continuous test with zero dropped packets at rated distance.
The NRF24L01+ Wireless Transceiver Module for Arduino 2.4GHz Antenna Module NRF24L01 for ISM Microcontroll earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
- Mesh networking capability for multi-node deployments
- Long range communication reduces infrastructure costs
- Onboard antenna works out of the box
- Low power consumption extends battery life in remote nodes
Watch Out For
- Antenna placement affects range significantly
- PCB antenna range is shorter than external SMA antenna
- Interference in crowded ISM band environments
