ERA-LORA

The ERA-LORA from LPRS is a eRA long range RF transceiver through hole module. The eRA-LoRa™ module is a hybrid of LoRa™ technology and eRA technology for applications that require a range of 1Km or more or for applications operating in a poor RF location. Utilising CSS modulation together with DSS a greater range is achieved compared to traditional devices using OOK (On/Off Key), FSK or GFSK modulation. Sensitivity and blocking performance are improved giving high interference immunity whilst still offering low power consumption. It eliminates need for complex, costly approval processes for OEM’s. The module is a complete sub system that combines a high performance, low power RF transceiver, microcontroller and voltage regulator. Typically used at suburban security alarms void buildings, caravan or car storage sites, warehouses, rural security, farm buildings/equipment, livestock monitoring, remote irrigation pumps, data collection and monitoring over a wide area.
