LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 Module is a powerful embedded development board built for Sub-GHz wireless communication, IoT applications, and penetration testing. Powered by the ESP32-S3 dual-core processor, it integrates a CC1101 transceiver and a built-in antenna, supporting multiple frequency bands: 300–348 MHz 387–464 MHz 779–928 MHz Ideal for low-power, long-range communication scenarios such as wireless sensor networks, remote control systems, and RFID/NFC experiments. It also supports external Sub-GHz modules for flexible integration. With built-in PN532 NFC/RFID transceiver, it supports 13.56 MHz high-frequency cards and basic RFID protocols (125/134KHz BF, 13.56MHz HF).
