Future Electronics announces that it has added a highly-rated new Murata RF transceiver module to its line-up of products supporting LoRaWAN™ low-power wireless area networking (LPWAN) applications.
The Murata CMWX1ZZABZ-078 module is expected to attract a great deal of interest from designers of Internet of Things edge nodes, portable devices and remote monitoring systems. This is because Murata has packed in the module’s 12.5mm x 11.6mm x 1.76mm package a complete LPWAN system, including the Semtech SX1276 RF transceiver, an STMicroelectronics STM32L0 microcontroller with an ARM Cortex-M0+ core, a TCXO clock, an SPI/I2C/UART/ADC interface, and up to 16 GPIOs.
The embedded MCU in the module has sufficient capacity to run the LoRaWAN networking protocol supplied by ST as well as customer applications, so there is no need for an external host microcontroller. The LoRaWAN protocol provides a means to connect thousands of mobile end nodes to a fixed gateway over an open-space range of up to 15km.
Future Electronics, which is a franchised distributor of Murata components as well as of Semtech and STMicroelectronics parts, will hold available-to-buy stocks of the CMWX1ZZABZ-078 module as soon as Murata begins volume production in November. The new module adds to a rich portfolio of LoRaWAN-compliant devices available from the specialist Future Connectivity Solutions division of Future Electronics, including RF transceiver ICs and modules, off-the-shelf modems, gateways and concentrators, antennas and passive components.
