Each kit can serve as a building block for the development of a LoRa network with a range of up to 10 miles and 10 years of battery life using two AAA batteries.
Because the Motes are FCC Certified (DV164140-1) or European R&TTE Directive Assessed (DV164140-2), Microchip says time to market can be reduced significantly.
LoRa technology is suited to low data rate, low duty cycle applications in such sectors as energy, location, infrastructure, smart city, environment, agriculture and public safety. Although mainly used for sending data, LoRa supports bidirectional communications.
