## Description

The Adafruit RFM69HCW Transceiver Radio Breakout @ 868/915 MHz is a breadboard-friendly packet radio module for adding long-range wireless communication to Arduino and other microcontroller projects. Based on the SX1231 transceiver, it provides FSK packet radio with AES-128 encryption, auto-retransmit, and multipoint networking at 868 or 915 MHz (software configurable). The breakout includes a 3.3 V regulator and level shifter, so it works with both 3 V and 5 V logic. With +13 to +20 dBm transmit power (up to 100 mW), it can reach approximately 500 m line of sight with a simple wire antenna — up to 5 km with directional antennas and optimised settings. Key Features SX1231 FSK Packet Radio – RFM69HCW at 868/915 MHz (software configurable) with SPI interface +13 to +20 dBm Transmit Power – Up to 100 mW, selectable in software ~500 m Range – Line of sight with wire antenna; up to 5 km with directional antennas AES-128 Encryption – Built-in hardware encryption engine Auto-Retransmit – Automatic packet retransmission for reliability Multipoint Networking – Individual node addresses for creating networks 3.3 V Regulator & Level Shifter – Works with 3 V or 5 V logic and power Arduino Libraries – Ready-to-go with tested support uFL Antenna Connector – Or solder a simple wire antenna 50–150 mA TX Current – ~30 mA during active listening Also Consider RFM69HCW Breakout @ 433 MHz – Same radio at 433 MHz Ideal For Wireless sensor networks with Arduino Remote control and telemetry Campus or farm-wide data links Encrypted point-to-point or multipoint communication Note: Radios can only communicate with other radios of the same type and frequency — RFM69 900 MHz talks only to RFM69 900 MHz. The frequency is software configurable for 868 or 915 MHz. Some soldering is required to attach headers and a wire antenna (or optional uFL/SMA connector). Check your local regulations for ISM band usage. Resources RFM69HCW Radio Breakout Learning Guide
