Product description: LoRa-E5 STM32WLE5JC - 868/915 MHz LoRaWAN module - embedded ARM Cortex-M4 and SX126x - Seeedstudio 317990687
LoRa-E5 is a compactcommunicationmodule inLoRaWANstandard, produced bySeeedstudiocompany. It allows long range communication in LoRaWAN standard in868 MHz and 915 MHzband, which makes it suitable for use both in the European Union and North America. Equipped withSTM32WLE5JCchip, it allows to transmit data upto 10 km. The chip is based on ARM Cortex-M4 core and Semtech SX126X LoRa, which supports LoRaWAN protocol, as well as GFSK, BPSK, GMSK and LoRa modulations.
On the manufacturer's website there is aWiki page of the product, which greatly facilitates getting started with the module. It contains, among others, user guide and "quick start" instruction.
What is LoRa?
LoRa or LoRaWAN is a long-range wireless communication protocol, which is characterized by very low power consumption. The LoRa protocol in the LoRa E5 module uses sub-gigahertz free radio frequencies such as 868 MHz (Europe) or 915 MHz (North America).
