For industrial applications, everyone knows that LoRa technology has the advantages of low power consumption and long-distance communication, which are very suitable for industrial control. However, in addition to selecting the right technical solution, a comprehensive module with excellent performance is also a key consideration. Below are a few performance advantages of the LoRa1276-C1 wireless module.

 Through FCC, IC, CE certification:

FCC certification: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the federal regulatory agency in the United States responsible for managing wireless communications and electromagnetic spectrum. FCC certification requires wireless modules to comply with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards and RF (Radio Frequency) radiation regulations in the United States. With FCC certification, wireless modules can be legally sold and used in the US market.

IC Certification: Industry Canada (IC) is the department responsible for managing wireless communications and electromagnetic spectrum in Canada. IC certification requires wireless modules to comply with Canada's Radio Standards Specifications (RSS) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. After obtaining IC certification, wireless modules can be legally sold and used in the Canadian market.

CE Certification: CE certification is the product safety certification mark of the European Community, applicable to products sold in the European market. CE certification requires wireless modules to comply with European technical standards and regulations, including the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive and the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive. After obtaining CE certification, wireless modules can be legally sold and used in the European market.

-139dBm Ultra-high Sensitivity

Generally, the lower the value of receiver sensitivity, the stronger the receiver's ability to detect weak signals. This means that even in more distant or adverse environmental conditions, the can still communicate stably. Industrial control and civilian applications typically have different requirements for the sensitivity of wireless communication. Industrial control often requires a receiver sensitivity level between -120dBm and -140dBm to ensure good signal reception in industrial environments. The LoRa1276-C1 wireless module with a receiver sensitivity of -139dBm meets the requirements of many industrial control applications.

Low Power Mode

Performance-oriented low-power modules typically correlate closely with the current consumption. The current consumption during operation depends on the workload and operating mode, usually ranging from several milliamps to tens of milliamps. The standby current consumption during sleep mode should typically be at the microampere level, usually ranging from several microamps to tens of microamps. The LoRa 1276-C1 wireless module has an operating current of 10.8mA (transmit power 20dBm), and the sleep current can be lower than 1.5μA, making it suitable for low-power industry applications.

Built-in Antenna Electrostatic Protection

Built-in antenna electrostatic protection refers to the integration of specific design electrostatic protection circuits inside the wireless communication module. It is used to protect the antenna and the wireless communication module from electrostatic discharge or electrostatic interference. Electrostatic discharge can damage the circuits and components of , including antennas, wireless modules, and connected equipment. To prevent such damage from electrostatic discharge, the LoRa 1276-C1 integrates an antenna electrostatic protection circuit internally. This circuit effectively absorbs and disperses the energy generated by electrostatic discharge, preventing damage to the antenna and wireless module.
