MIKROE, an embedded solutions company, has launched LR 11 Click, the latest product in the company’s 1750-strong mikroBUS-enabled Click board family of compact add-on boards that enables designers to a achieve energy-efficient, secure, and reliable, long-distance, bi-directional 915MHz LoRaWAN data communications.
The board features Ezurio’s 453-00139R LoraWAN module which integrates the Silicon Labs EFR32 SoC and the Semtech SX1262 radio. It supports LoRaWAN classes A, B, and C, and operates in the 902-928MHz frequency range with a typical transmit power of up to 22dBm and a communications range of up to 15km. The LR 11 Click is well suited for IoT devices, asset tracking, smart home systems, industrial automation, and any application requiring long-range, battery-powered sensor solutions.
“A special feature of the LR 11 Click is an additional mikroBUS socket, which expands the board’s functionality with peripherals such as sensors and LCDs. Added Click boards can communicate with the onboard 453-00139R module through UART, SPI, or I2C interfaces,” said Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE.
LR 11 Click is fully compatible with the mikroBUS socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS standard. It comes with the mikroSDK open-source libraries and example code, offering flexibility for evaluation and customisation. The Click board also includes the ClickID feature, which enables the host system to seamlessly and automatically detect and identify it.
The LR 11 Click package also includes the 868/915MHz FlexDIPOLE antenna which is matched with the Ezurio 453-00139R module delivering enhanced connectivity and functionality, ensuring optimal performance for long-range communication applications.
