CMWX1ZZABZ-078 LoRa Module: SX1276 FSK, RF Module, Datasheet

Murata's CMWX1ZZABZ-078  Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) wireless module is a stand-alone, compact, and low-power solution that supports both LoRaWANTM and Sigfox wireless protocols on a single hardware platform, making it one of the first to do so. The Murata LPWAN  module is one of the world's smallest options for integrating LoRa and Sigfox connectivity to applications, measuring 12.5 x 11.6 x 1.76 mm in a metal shielded LGA container. The module is designed to be a fully self-contained solution, integrating a Semtech   SX1276  RF  transceiver and an ST Microelectronics  STM32L  Cortex M0+  microcontroller with 192  Kbytes of flash memory. This module supports all frequency bands required for LoRa and Sigfox applications globally, eliminating the need for separate solutions for different countries. Customers can choose which network technology best suits their application based on location, service requirements, and cost using the dual-mode approach.

Smart metering (gas and water flow meters), Internet of Things sensor nodes, wearables, and Machine to Machine (M2M) communications are all used for the Murata LPWAN  module. The CMWX1ZZABZ-078  module has an operating temperature range of -40  to +85  °C thanks to an integrated  TCXO  crystal oscillator and is currently under development for a number of LoRaWANTM and Sigfox applications, including deploying sensor nodes in remote and unpredictable situations.

Lora and Sigfox are low-power wide-area network protocols (LPWANs) for applications that require long-range communications with low data rates — in non-urban situations, a range of up to 15 kilometres is achievable. The protocols' normal output power is + 14dBm and + 13dBm, respectively, with the LoRa range being extended by a power amplifier boost function to increase RF output to + 20dBm for long-range applications or those where the end-device is located in a weak signal location indoors.
