We all know Microchip<\/a>, right?<\/p>\n

When i read about Microchip adopting LoRa technology<\/a> last August, I was expecting something interesting, and it seems I was right.<\/p>\n

Microchip already had solutions based on almost every wireless technology known to man (MiWi -their own thing-, WiFi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, ZigBee, and some more 2.4 GHz<\/a> and sub-GHz<\/a> modules). Not having a solution based on LoRa technology, developed by Semtech<\/a>, would seem illogical, a notable omission.<\/p>\n

The Internet of Things by the gates,\u00a0 the LoRa capabilities (very long range with very low battery consumption) and the experience Microchip already has acquired, all boiled down to this:<\/p>\n

The RN2483 module<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will be very well suited for applications of industrial automation (M2M) and IoT. It has the LoRaWAN protocol stack already inside, witch means: it easily connects in star topology, in both public-operated (by some provider) and privately run networks. And being compatible\u00a0 with LoRa gateways, made by many manufacturers means that it is one step from the Internet!<\/span><\/p>\n

I copy the main characteristics from the above link:<\/p>\n
