With just 9.98 × 8.70 × 1.74 (max.) mm, Murata developed a multi-band LoRa connectivity module, offering ultra-low power design for long battery life, superior sensitivity, and Industry-Leading Quality and Reliability to build Cost Optimized end devices, suited for various Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Based upon Semtech's third generation LoRa Connect™ “LR1121” transceiver, the Type 2GT module also features temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), crystal oscillators, matching network, RF switch and multiple communication interfaces including SPI and various GPIOs.
Designed for deployment globally with a single ordering part number, the module supports LoRa and LR-FHSS communication over 860 - 930 MHz sub-GHz and 2.4GHz ISM bands. Accommodating a wide range of temperatures, the module can operate from −40 to 85°C.
Building on the proven Type 2GT-001 hardware, the Type 2GT MODEM-E takes integration a step further by embedding the advanced LoRaWAN certified MODEM-E firmware, developed by Semtech. This firmware can be easily controlled through simple APIs, reducing complexity, simplifying IoT development, and accelerating time to market.
This ready-to-use, software-enhanced solution offers an easy and efficient path to deploying advanced IoT applications such as Building automation, Smart cities, Industrial sensors, Agricultural sensors, smart home, Asset tracking, retail store sensors, smart meters, environmental sensors, and many more.
