Wireless module E01-ML01DP5, nRF24L01+ 2.4GHz Long Range

Product detailed description

The Ebyte E01-ML01DP5 wireless module, featuring a Nordic nRF24L01P chip and RFX2401C amplifier (PA + LNA), achieves a transmission power of up to 100 mW (20 dBm) and a range of up to 2.5 km in open terrain. The integrated low-noise amplifier also improves reception sensitivity by approximately 10 dB compared to standard nRF24L01+ modules, making it worthwhile to use on both the transmitting and receiving sides. The module operates in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, communicates with the microcontroller via SPI, and shares the same pinout as standard nRF24L01+ modules, ensuring compatibility with standard libraries for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. It is suitable for remote control, telemetry, wireless sensors, or multi-node networks.

Package contents:

• 1× Ebyte E01-ML01DP5 wireless module (antenna not included)

Note:

• The antenna is not included. Never operate the module in transmission mode without a connected antenna, as this may damage the amplifier.
• During transmission, the module has a peak current draw of over 130 mA. Power it from a sufficiently rated 3.3V source (the built-in 3.3V output of some Arduino boards is insufficient) and connect a 10–100 µF capacitor as close as possible to the VCC and GND pins.
• In the EU, the maximum permitted radiated power (EIRP) for the 2.4 GHz band is 100 mW (20 dBm). Therefore, when using an antenna with a gain exceeding 0 dBi, reduce the module's transmission power in the software.
• This product is not a standalone functional unit and may require professional installation.
• Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may sometimes differ from the actual appearance of the item. However, this does not change their basic properties.
