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 plug onto a FireBeetle board and is Arduino compatible. However, you can also operate the board with another microcontroller without any problems. The maximum transmission rate of the module can be up to 300Kbps. The module supports LoRaTM and can provide a maximum transmission of 37.5Kbps. The 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 specially developed for Internet of Things (IoT) projects. These microcontrollers in the series target IoT nodes with low power consumption to quickly and easily build the IoT hardware platform.
