The compact LoRaWAN™ module, which is scheduled to begin production in October, is expected to support a wide range of sensors
for IoT applications, including smart meters, wearables and tracking devices. It is able to operate within a wide range of
temperatures; its memory is capable of supporting a range of applications; and its flexible data rate increases battery life and
optimizes long-range communication.
This compact module, integrated with a STMicroelectronics STM32L0 series ARM Cortex M0+ 32bit microcontroller, is aimed to help
ease integration into a variety of sensors. Semtech’s SX1276 low power, long-range transceiver is also included in the module to
provide ultra-long range spread spectrum communication, high interference immunity and minimized current consumption. For more
