SB Components USB to LoRa Adaptor 868MHz

The SB Components USB to LoRa Adaptor is a compact USB device operating on the 868MHz band, enabling long-range wireless data communication of up to 5km.

Overview

LoRa (Long Range) technology allows this adaptor to transmit data reliably over distances of up to 5km, making it suitable for remote monitoring, IoT deployments, and battery-powered applications where conventional Wi-Fi or cellular networks are impractical. Featuring a standard USB 2.0 interface, it can be connected to a wide range of systems, including desktop PCs, single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone, and other microcontroller-based setups. Its plug-and-play compatibility allows for quick setup, and in many environments no additional drivers are required.

Key Features

• Long-Range Communication: Transmits data over distances of up to 5km in open areas, suited to connecting remote sensors or devices.
• Low Power Consumption: Based on LoRa technology, which is recognised for energy efficiency and allows devices to operate for extended periods on battery power.
• Industrial Durability: Industrial-grade hardware design with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
• Licence-Free Operation: Uses the 868MHz frequency band, which is licence-free in many regions.
• Adjustable Data Rates: Configurable air data rates from 0.3 kb/s to 62.5 kb/s, allowing a balance between range, data throughput, and power consumption.
• High-Gain Antenna: Includes a high-gain antenna with an SMA connection.
• Onboard Converter: Equipped with a CH340 UART converter IC for stable serial communication.

Specifications

• Frequency Band: 868MHz
• Interface: USB 2.0
