of
-
the
-
art noise immunity, excellent link
budget, operation up to 125 degrees
and low voltage operation.
In addition, the CC2530 provides extensive hardware support for packet handling, data buffering, burst
transmissions, data encryption, data authentication, clear channel assessment, link quality indication
and packet timing inf
ormation.
