FireBeetle Covers LoRa Radio Module 868MHz

The wireless FireBeetle SX1276 LoRa 868MHz transmission module uses a powerful SX1276 LoRa 868MHz chip with an integrated end amplifier. The module is designed to snap onto a FireBeetle board and is Arduino compatible. However, you can also operate the board easily with another microcontroller. The maximum transmission rate of the module can be up to 300Kbps. The module supports LoRa™ and can provide a maximum transmission of 37.5Kbps. Power consumption is less than 0.2μA in sleep mode, making it perfect for battery operation.  

The DFRobot FireBeetle series are low-power microcontrollers and modules designed specifically for Internet of Things (IoT) projects. These microcontrollers in the series aim at low-power IoT nodes to build the IoT hardware platform quickly and easily.
