Additional Information

    Leverage LoRa and LoRaWAN® devices in your IIoT Solutions 

    Achieve long-range, low-power communication with the Notecard for LoRa devices. Communicating with your devices via LoRa radio is ideal for battery-powered and remote IIoT applications where cellular isn’t an option.

    Build with the Notecard for LoRa module for:

    • A compact device, 30mm x 35mm SOM (system on module)
    • Castellated edges provide an easy way to solder the Notecard directly onto a PCB for scalability
    • Plug-and-play integration with The Things Network
    • Access to our industry-leading security and cloud orchestration platform

    Need to use more than just LoRa in your architecture?

    We designed Notecards around the idea of wireless harmonization making them completely compatible with each other, utilizing the same pinouts, with optional optimization differences, and the core Notecard API subset.
