Q1: Can 2.4GHz RF be transmitted in water?

* 2.4GHz signal attenuates approximately 84 dB / m in water.

* The 433MHz signal attenuation is about 36 dB / m.
* Compared with 2.4GHz, the attenuation of 433MHz signal in water is lower, so we recommend using our sub-1GHz IC: 433MHz as the operating frequency for underwater transmission.
