1 Introduction
EMB-LR1302-mPCIe provides long range connectivity using ultra-long range
spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity on the 868/915
MHz radio band. This device is characterized by up to 10x less power
consumption than previous solutions, has a better thermal design and it is
capable of handling a higher amount of traffic than preceding devices.
EMB-LR1302-mPCIe is designed around the Semtech SX1302 which is a new
generation of digital baseband LoRa
®
chip for gateways. It offers up to 8 LoRa
®
channels in the 868 MHz (or 915 MHz) frequency allowing it to receive up to 64
LoRa
®
packets simultaneously. It is able to achieve a sensitivity of up to -140
and a RF output power of +27 dBm making it the ideal device to use in LoRa
®
gateways applications. It supports two new spreading factors: SF5 and SF6. This
enables users to reach higher data rate communication.
