Laird Connectivity RM126x Series LoRaWAN Modules

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the RM126x Series LoRaWAN modules from Laird Connectivity. The modules are based on the Silicon Labs EFR32 SoC and Semtech’s SX126x transceivers, with module/antenna combinations certified to work all over the world in either hosted or host-less modes, providing a global, low-power, long-range solution for challenging LoRaWAN implementations in industrial automation and control, smart agriculture, smart cities, utilities monitoring, transportation, logistics, supply chain, healthcare monitoring and retail.

The modules target OEM customers requiring long-range RF performance and minimal power consumption. These small-form-factor PCB modules feature a built-in MHF4 connector. In hosted mode, utilising an external microcontroller, the modules can be programmed with Laird Connectivity’s AT command set. In hostless mode, the modules utilise their Cortex-M33 core with Silicon Labs’ Simplicity Studio to enable users to write their own application using C, or take advantage of sample applications and radio certifications offered by Laird Connectivity.

The modules also include LoRa Point to Point (LoRa P2P) capability, allowing users to create their own private, long-range, point-to-point radio network between two RM126x modules. The modules, with an integrated temperature-compensated, crystal oscillator (TCXO), are designed to perform across industrial temperature ranges of -40 to +85°C, while the onboard components to complete a DC-DC converter deliver ultra-low power consumption.

Together with Laird Connectivity’s FlexPIFA and i-FlexPIFA antennas, available for 868 MHz and 915 MHz frequency bands, the RM126x Series modules give developers the flexibility for rapid integration into space-constrained LoRaWAN applications.
