What determines the price of the wireless module?

There are many types of wireless module on the market, and the prices are also inconsistent. When many people choose wireless modules, they are stuck at the price. So think of wireless today to tell you how the price of the wireless module is decided to help you have a better help in choosing the wireless module.

1. Power of wireless module

The power of a wireless module is proportional to the price. For a wireless module developed from the same chip, the higher the power, the higher the price. For example, the comparison between RF4432 (100mW) and RF4432F27 (500mW) wireless modules. The two modules are developed with SI4432 chips, but the price of RF4432F27 is more than twice that of RF4432.

2. Software function of wireless module

The software of the wireless module is a very important factor, it can help the performance of the wireless module to be more superior, so when the software function is stronger, the price is more expensive. When we choose a wireless module, if we have no development capabilities, it is best to choose a manufacturer with a good R & D team.

3. Wireless module hardware

The hardware is the most important part of the wireless module. The hardware includes various electronic components, such as crystal oscillators and filters. The software is only to help the hardware play better performance, so when the hardware is better, the wireless module, the higher the price.

In addition, the price of different types of wireless modules on the market is very different. For example: GFSK and LoRa wireless modules, why are LoRa modules on the market more expensive than GFSK modules? That is because the performance of the lora module chips used by them is better than that of the GFSK module. Compared with the same power, the distance of the lora module is much longer than that of the GFSK module.

When choosing a wireless module, we still need to consider more aspects, and the price is only one of them. The purpose of this article is to hope that everyone will choose a module with the most cost-effective through various comparisons.
