The purpose of the BCT-5602-001 is to use with the development board, BCE-GENTrx8-A01. It breaks out the module's (BM5602-60-1) pins to make the development easier.
The on-board BM5602-60-1 is a 2.4Hz RF transceiver module, its design is based on the Holtek 2.4GHz GFSK transceiver IC, BC5602. The module also includes a matching circuit and a trace antenna.
