LoRa module integrates modem with a range of over 15km

Microchip's RN2483 433/868MHz LoRa Module is now stocked by Mouser. It integrates a modem with a range of more than 15km (suburban) and offers low-power that enables a battery life greater than ten years. It also gives the ability to connect millions of wireless sensor nodes to LoRa gateways and IoT-connected cloud servers, says the company. This robust system is due to LoRa's novel spread-spectrum based modulation that is capable of demodulation 20dB below noise level. This enables high sensitivity for ultra-long range, improved network efficiency and eliminates interference. The RN2483 modem operates over the 433 and 868MHz license-free Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands. It serves as the end-device in the LoRa network infrastructure.
