915MHz RF Explorer block

This Edison Block makes use of a TI CC1110 RF transciever to allow a connected Edison to communicate on the 915MHz band. It is also capable of transmitting at 868MHz (a small antenna alteration will make it much more efficient at that band).

The 915MHz Edison Explorer Block allows an Intel Edison to serve as a bridge from WiFi or Bluetooth to a 915MHz protocol, such as Z-wave, Zigbee, or other manufacturer specific protocols.
