MIKROE delivers ultra-low power 915MHz LoraWAN data communications for IoT

Energy-efficient, secure, reliable, long-distance, bi-directional

October 2024: MIKROE, the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has launched LR 11 Click, a new member of the company’s 1750-strong mikroBUS™ -enabled Click board™ family of compact add-on boards that enables designers to a achieve energy-efficient, secure, and reliable, long-distance, bi-directional 915MHz LoraWAN data communications. The board features Ezurio’s 453-00139R LoraWAN module which integrates the Silicon Labs EFR32 SoC and the Semtech SX1262 radio. It supports LoRaWAN classes A, B, and C, and operates in the 902-928MHz frequency range with a typical transmit power of up to 22dBm and a communications range of up to 15km. With its extensive regulatory support and certifications, the LR 11 Click is ideal for IoT devices, asset tracking, smart home systems, industrial automation, and any application requiring long-range, battery-powered sensor solutions.

Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “A special feature of the LR 11 Click is an additional mikroBUS™ socket, which expands the board’s functionality with peripherals such as sensors and LCDs. Added Click boards can communicate with the onboard 453-00139R module through UART, SPI, or I2C interfaces.”

LR 11 Click is fully compatible with the mikroBUS™ socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS™ standard. It comes with the mikroSDK open-source libraries and example code, offering unparalleled flexibility for evaluation and customization. This Click board also includes the innovative ClickID feature, which enables the host system to seamlessly and automatically detect and identify it.

The LR 11 Click package also includes the 868/915MHz FlexDIPOLE antenna which is matched with the Ezurio 453-00139R module delivering enhanced connectivity and functionality, ensuring optimal performance for long-range communication applications.

High Power Charging Inlets
All major truck and bus OEMs will be launching electric vehicle platforms within the next few years and in order to keep pace with on-highway and off-highway EV innovation, our charging inlets must also provide the voltage, current and charging requirements needed for these vehicles. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Drew Reetz from TE Connectivity investigate charging inlet design considerations for the next generation of industrial and commercial transportation, the differences between AC only charging and fast charge and high power charging inlets, and the benefits that TE Connectivity’s ICT high power charging inlets bring to these kinds of designs.
