LoRa Thing Plus - expLoRaBLE

SparkFun's expLoRaBLE Thing Plus contains an NM180100 system in package (SiP) as well as an AmbiQ Apollo3 microcontroller and a Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver. The expLoRaBLE Thing Plus is able to support both 868 MHz and 915 MHz bands as well as Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE). In addition to those features, the expLoRaBLE Thing Plus utilizes the Qwiic connect system, which means no soldering of wires.

The expLoRaBLE Thing Plus is Arduino compatible through the Apollo3 Arduino Core. With both BLE and LoRa capabilities, the user will be able to operate as a Bluetooth enabled LoRa node. This board also comes with a U.FL connector, so the user will not have to worry about how to hook up the appropriate antenna.
