AP2 Module 
The ANT AP2 module is a drop-in module based on the reference design of nRF24AP2, a new generation of ANT system on chip family from Nordic Semiconductor. An F antenna is integrated on the small-sized 20mm by 20mm board.
Fully-Certified ANT RF Modules Enable Fast Time to Market
The module has been certified to comply with radio regulation or standards covering global markets that include North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. The integrated module eases the burden for application and system developers from extensive RF and antenna design, and regulatory compliance testing, allowing for quicker time to the market.
Enhancements from nRF24AP2
- 10x lower power consumption
- Better RF performance
- High density node support – up to 300 nodes at 1 Hz Tx rate in same RF space
- Frequency agility
- Proximity search
- Scanning mode – extremely low latency for asynchronous applications such as remote control
- Low priority search – does not impact existing channels
- Channel ID management – improves device pairing efficiency
- Individual output power control per channel
