LoRa®
LoRa® is a wireless modulation for long-range, low-power, low data-rate applications. By achieving a range of more than 15 kilometers in a suburban environment and more than 2km in a dense urban environment, LoRa solutions target multiple application domains, such as Internet of Things (IoT), metering, security, and machine-to-machine (M2M).
- Long range, up to 15km, enables lower-cost networks and distant locations
- Easy-to-use add-on modules
- Low power enables long battery life
- Global network and radio certification support
- Certified LoRaWAN® protocol stack
IEEE 802.15.4
Created to support low-cost, low-power networks, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard defines the MAC and PHY layer used by, but not limited to, networking specifications such as Zigbee®, 6LoWPAN, Thread, WiSUN, and MiWi™ protocols. IEEE 802.15.4-based products from Microchip are deployed today in a wide range of applications, from battery-free, energy-harvesting wireless light switches, to alarm sensors with several years of battery life, to high-performance mesh utility networks supporting smart meters and street lighting.
- Robust mesh networking creates ultra-reliable connections
- Highly-integrated MCU with radio for a cost-effective node solution
- Supports multiple frequencies for range and data-rate optimization
- Free MiWi and Zigbee stacks
Sub-GHz
Microchip offers industry-leading performance for RF devices operating in the license-free Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency bands (2.4GHz, 868MHz to 928MHz, 433MHz, and 315MHz). Our devices support unidirectional and bidirectional data communication to meet target proprietary and standard-based wireless applications such as smart metering, alarm systems, home automation, and increasing Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
- Robust point-to-point communication for ruggedized industrial environments
- Highly-integrated MCU with radio for a cost-effective node solution
- Free MiWi networking stack with mesh and point-to-point modes
RF Remote
The unlicensed Sub-GHz ISM radio frequency bands are used for many short-range, low-data-rate, and low-power wireless applications. Microchip provides stand-alone transceivers, receiver products, and our family of rfPIC® transmitters with embedded PIC® microcontrollers. These radio solutions are ideal for AMR metering, consumer electronics, home, business, industrial automation, automotive, toys, and medical applications.
