LoRa® Wireless RF Transceiver Modules

Microchip Technology offers its RN2903 and RN2483, low-power, LoRa technology transceiver modules designed for long-range sensor applications

Image of Microchip's RN2903 and RN2483 RF Transceiver ModulesMicrochip Technology's RN2903-I / RM095 and RN2483-I / RM101 are fully certified 915 MHz, 868 MHz, and 433 MHz modules based on wireless LoRa technology. These modules utilize a unique spread spectrum modulation within the sub-GHz band to enable long range, low power, and high network capacity.

The module's embedded LoRaWAN™ Class-A protocol enables seamless connectivity to any LoRaWAN compliant network infrastructure, whether public or privately deployed.  The module is specifically designed for ease-of-use, which shortens development time and speeds time-to-market.  LoRa technology is ideal for battery-operated sensors and low-power applications such as IoT, M2M, smart city, sensor networks, industrial automation, and more.
