Murata sampling multi-band LoRa module

Murata is sampling its Type 2GT module, a multi-band, low-power radio (LoRa) module which measures 9.98 x 8.70 x 1.74mm and is built on a PCB housed in a metal case and packaged as a land grid array.

It uses Semtech’s LR1121 RF transceiver IC, a thermally compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), a second 32KHz crystal, an RF switch, and an RF matching network.

The module supports multiple frequency bands—including sub-GHz bands, the 2.4GHz ISM band, and the 2.1GHz satellite communications S-band.

Support for the 2.4GHz ISM band enables higher data rates, common channel plan across the globe and also allows designers to avoid the duty-cycle limitations imposed on sub-GHz communications by European standards.

The device is certified to European CE and American FCC standards, the Japanese TELEC standard, and the Canadian IC standard enabling designers to reuse module RF test reports across different certification authorities.
