looks like each of the different chips has different requirements, but the most common baud rate is 38.4 kbps fairly simple serial protocol, just use the full duplex serial object and away you go, the documentation is fairly extensive on their site.
I may pick up a few and try that as an xbee alternative
From what I have been reading the range and latency depend on how you set up the chip, low power usage, for crazy long battery time, or for no latency max range, they compare the tx power to zigbee, so from their (sparse) data sheets:
Pr(d) = ( Pt*Gt*Gr*λ2 ) / ( (4pi)2 * d2 )
29m in a standard indoor environment, 97m(?) in outdoor open LoS environment
assuming max power mode using the one chip antenna
(I am pretty sure I got all the right data, these are the maximums according to Friis, YMMV and probably will)
