CatWAN Arduino LoRa Shield
The CatWAN Arduino LoRa Shield is a powerful long-range transceiver designed for Arduino, utilizing LoRa shield technology. Built on open-source libraries such as lmic and RFM95, this shield facilitates data transmission over extended distances with minimal data and power consumption.
- LoRa Technology: Enable reliable, long-range communication for extended reach.
- LoRaWAN Compatibility: Connect effortlessly to LoRaWAN networks, perfect for IoT applications.
- Arduino UNO Compatibility: Designed for easy integration with Arduino UNO boards.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for smart agriculture, industrial automation, and IoT projects.
- RFM95 with SX1276 Chip: Tailored for professional wireless sensor network applications, including irrigation systems, smart metering, smart cities, smartphone detection, and building automation.
- Semtech's LoRa™ Modulation: Achieves impressive sensitivity of over -148dBm, enhanced by a +20 dBm power amplifier, delivering an industry-leading link budget for optimal range and robustness. Offers superior blocking and selectivity advantages over traditional modulation techniques.
- Simplified Operation: Eliminates the need for association, pairing, or connection worries. Simply send data, and any module tuned to the same frequency and encryption key will receive it. The receiver can respond, and automatic retransmission minimizes concerns about energy loss in maintaining a link or pairing.
- Versatile Frequency Options: The 900 MHz radio version dynamically adjusts between 868MHz and 915MHz frequencies based on loaded software. Special +20dBm LoRa packet radios provide an extended range compared to RFM69-compliant alternatives, reaching up to 2 km line of sight or 20 km with directional antennas.
- Easy Integration: Each shield includes a 3.3V voltage regulator and level-shifter, accommodating 3-5V power and logic. Antennas can be created by cutting and soldering wire, or an external antenna can be connected via an optional SMA connector.
