LILYGO® T‑Embed CC1101 Plus is a compact, multi‑protocol Wireless Lab Board designed for developers, makers, and security researchers who explore advanced RF communication. Compared to the standard T‑Embed CC1101, the CC1101 Plus version integrates an additional nRF24L01 module, giving you both a CC1101 for robust sub‑GHz communication and an nRF24L01 for interacting with a wide range of 2.4 GHz devices — all powered by the high‑performance ESP32‑S3 in a single, portable form factor.
This combination makes the LILYGO T‑Embed CC1101 Plus ideal for signal analysis, protocol testing, IoT prototyping, and wireless device interaction. Whether you’re building sub‑GHz IoT networks, experimenting with multi‑protocol RF systems, or conducting advanced wireless research, this Wireless Lab Board delivers the flexibility and power you need.
