868MHz 100mW FSK ISM Transceiver Module.
The HopeRF RFM69HW is the main radio module used in the UKHASnet system. The 'RFM69HW' version allows for full 100mW while the 'RFM69' version only goes up to 20mW output power. Interfacing is via SPI and there is libraries and example code for use with AVR, Arduino and ARM microprocessors. The modules will require soldering and it is recommended to either use a PCB (check out our kits) or stripboard (UKHASnet Wiki) to integrate it into your node.
