Mouser Electronics is now stocking the RN2483 433/868MHz LoRa-Integrated Module from Microchip. The RN2483 is an integrated modem with a range of over 15km (suburban) and exceptionally low power consumption, giving a battery life in excess of ten years. The LoRa-integrated module enables wireless designers to maximise range and reduce power consumption without compromising either.
The Microchip RN2483 modem, available from Mouser Electronics, operates over the 433MHz and 868MHz bandwidths, which are license-free Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands. The module can connect millions of wireless sensor nodes to LoRa gateways and cloud servers for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and acts as the end-device in the LorRa network infrastructure. This robust system with a spread-spectrum-based modulation is capable of demodulation 20dB below noise level, enabling high sensitivity for ultra-long range and improved network efficiency with no interference.
The RN2483 modem includes secure AES-128 encryption, easy-to-use ASCII command interface over UART, adjustable output power up to +14dBM, and 14 GPIO for control, status, and ADC. The device meets the European R&TTE directive and is RoHS-compliant. The RN2483 uses a supply voltage of 2.1V – 3.6V and can operate in harsh outdoor environments of -40°C to +85°C. With mobility and scalable, robust communications, the RN2483 is ideal for a broad range of low-data-rate wireless monitoring and control designs.
