LoRa is a low-power wireless WAN (LPWAN) technology intended for many IoT applications, such as smart metering, remote control, and home automation. With the following additions to the LoRaWAN specification, comprehensive RF and protocol testing has become mandatory for device vendors, ensuring device coexistence and guaranteeing RF functionality in a rapidly growing ecosystem.
The Anritsu MT8870A universal test suite and the Anritsu MS2830A vector signal analyzer/generator support key RF transmitter and receiver measurements to ensure device quality. The MS2830A offers a testing solution for R&D and compliance or regulatory testing, while the MT8870A is the perfect fit for production where speed, reliability, and cost are critical.
The iM880B-L long-range radio module, based on Semtech's patented LoTa™ technology, is robust against interference, while its minimized power consumption makes it ideal for applications requiring secure, long-range radio links within the 868 MHz frequency band. The iM880B-L can achieve a sensitivity of over -137 dBm, which, combined with the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier, makes it optimal for any application requiring range or robustness.
