LoRa click carries Microchip’s RN2483 fully certified LoRa Sub-GHz, 433/868 MHz European R&TTE Directive Assessed Radio Modem. The click is designed to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. It communicates with the target microcontroller over a UART interface (TXD, RXD, CTS) with the addition of a Reset pin (RST).
NOTE: the antennas are sold separately.
RN2483 module
Microchip’s RN2483 Low-Power Long Range LoRa Technology Transceiver module provides an easy to use, low-power solution for long range wireless data transmission.
The RN2483 module has a specified range of >15km in rural and suburban settings, and >5km coverage in urban areas.
A LoRaWAN™ Class A protocol stack is embedded (bidirectional end devices), as well as an ASCII command interface accessible through UART. The high receiver sensitivity can go down to -148 dBm.
LoRaWAN™
LoRaWAN™ or Low Power Wide Area Network is a wireless technology developed to enable low data rate communications over long distances, mainly for IoT applications and sensors.
The architecture for this network is usually arranged in a star-of-stars topology. A gateway relays messages between end-devices (for example, battery operated devices in home automation) and a central core network server.
Antenna connectors
Two antenna connectors allow you to choose which of the two frequency bands will be employed.
