SX1303 LoRa Gateway module
Description This is a LoRa gateway module with industrial standard mini PCI express form factor based on the SX1303 chipset. This mPCIe module can be used in any embedded platform offering a free mPCIe slot with SPI connectivity and capable of providing enough power for the module, enables low-power wide-area communication capabilities to your new gateway design or existing industrial routers/computer. Complete and cost-efficient LoRa gateway solution offering up to eight(8) programmable Lora parallel demodulation channels. Allowing it to receive up to eight LoRa® modulated packets simultaneously. It targets Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, covering up to 500 nodes per square kilometer in an environment with moderate interference. Features Compliance with LoRaWAN 1.0.2 Multichannel: Eight (8) programmable Lora parallel demodulation channels. mPCIe form factor based on SPI host interface Compact mini PCI express form factor TYP. 50.95*30.0*10.5mm (W*L*H) The voltage of Mini PCI-e is 3.3V, compatible with 3G/LTE mPCIe card TX Power up to 27dBm, Rx sensitivity down to -139dBm@SF12,BW 125kHz.
