Furthermore, Murata's LoRa modules offer a compact, integrated solution with an embedded microcontroller. Developers have the flexibility to use the microcontroller as the host of an end node, providing customization options for a variety of projects.
Murata's UWB modules offer precise location tracking and open up a world of possibilities for asset tracking and RTLS applications. The technology enables location accuracy on the order of 0.1 m for indoor or outdoor applications. The UWB modules available from Farnell include:
• The FiRa-certified Type 2BP UWB module is an ultra-small UWB module that includes the NXP SR150 UWB chipset, clock, filters, and peripheral components. It is ideal for general IoT devices, including battery-powered devices.
• The Type 2AB UWB module with integrated Bluetooth LE wireless microcontroller is designed as an ultra-small, high-quality, and low-power module. It can operate on the wireless microcontroller, making it suitable for wearables and applications where size is critical.
• The Type 2DK UWB tag module with integrated Bluetooth LE wireless microcontroller is an all-in-one UWB + Bluetooth® LE combo module that integrates the NXP Trimension™ SR040 UWB chipset, the NXP QN9090 Bluetooth® LE chipset and microcontroller, an integrated antenna, and peripheral components.
Murata's Type 1SJ LoRa modules are the smallest in the range and include Semtech's LoRa Connect™ SX1262 transceiver IC and ST Microelectronics' STM32L0 microcontroller to provide customers with a regulatory-certified module that can be used as the core of a LoRa end-node product design. LoRa modules available from Farnell include:
• The Type 1SJ-295 LoRa module comes with an OpenMCU configuration that allows custom applications to be flashed onto the integrated microcontroller, along with the LoRa stack.
• The Type 1SJ-686 LoRaWAN modem module comes pre-flashed with modem firmware and an Extended Unique Identifier (EUI) to support LoRaWAN operation using AT commands.
• The LoRa module evaluation kit supports the development and verification of the module's OpenMCU and modem configurations.
