SX1272 LORA SHIELD FOR RASPBERRY PI - 900 MHZ

The SX1272 LoRa module main advantage is the reach increasing but also the cost saving respect other similar modules like XBee 868 or XBee 900. The SX1272 LoRa module uses the SPI bus. The SPI port allows more speed communication and frees up the UART for other purposes like debugging or to connect communication modules.

It comes with a 900 / 915 MHz antenna to be used in this frequency.

This kit includes:
- SX1272 LoRa module for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Intel Galileo - 900 / 915 MHz
- Raspberry Pi to Arduino Shields Connection Bridge

Note: The LoRa module is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2 model B with our latest software.

Note: Raspberry Pi not included. 

LoRa VS LoRaWAN

Libelium currently offers two options of this type of radio technology: LoRa and LoRaWAN

• LoRa contains only the link layer protocol and is perfect to be used in P2P communications between nodes. LoRa modules are a little cheaper that the LoRaWAN ones. It works in the 868 and 900MHz bands. Go to the LoRa Tutorial.
• LoRaWAN includes the network layer too so it is possible to send the information to any Base Station already connected to a Cloud platform. LoRaWAN modules may work in the 868/900/433MHz bands. Go to the LoRaWAN Tutorial.
