1 Functional Description
The Birdirra Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) module allows developers to connect a range of IoT
devices to the Taggle network.
The Taggle network is an LPWAN solution based on world leading Australian developed technology operating
in the 916-928MHz Low Interference Potential Device (LIPD) class licence band, which has been developed by
Taggle Systems to provide one of the lowest cost, lowest power, longest range, and highest capacity LPWAN
solutions available. The Taggle network is based on one-way transmissions from endpoint nodes to the Taggle
receiver network, and is particularly well suited to battery powered endpoint applications with low data rate
requirements, such as automatic meter reading, wireless sensors for smart agriculture and environmental
monitoring, and cost sensitive smart city applications.
Birdirra provides a single serial port with simple interface to allow rapid integration of the module into both lab
prototypes and volume production IoT devices. The module has a single radio transmit output and can be
powered directly from 3.6V Li-SOCl
2
batteries.
All receive functions are handled seamlessly by the Taggle network, with the user's receive data presented via a
custom web portal. A range of data plans are available depending on the number of endpoints connected to the
Taggle network and the frequency of messages per endpoint.
