The Onethinx LoRaWAN Core module is a ready-to-use LoRaWAN + Bluetooth low energy module. It consists of Cypress's PSoC 6 with built-in Bluetooth Low Energy wireless connectivity and Semtech's sub-GHz radio transceiver SX1261. The module can transmit up to +15 dBm of power with a highly efficient integrated power amplifier and consumes up to 4.2 mA of current in receive mode.
The Onethinx module uses the integrated Secure Element functionality in the PSoC 6 MCU to give each LoRaWAN-based device a secret identity to securely boot, onboard, and deliver data to the cloud application. Using its mutual authentication capabilities, the PSoC 6 MCU-based, LoRa-equipped device can also receive authenticated over-the-air firmware updates. Key provisioning and management services are provided by IoT security provider and member of the Bosch group, ESCRYPT, for a complete end-to-end, secure LoRaWAN solution. The module connects to Bosch Sensortec's Cross Domain Development Kit (XDK) for Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors and to the provisioning system from ESCRYPT to securely connect. It has an integrated 868/915 MHz antenna and is ideal for public security, agriculture, leak detection, disaster precaution, gas- and water metering and street lighting applications.
