The AMB8826 from Wurth Elektronik is an 868 MHz Long Range (LoRa) Radio Module that supports three operating modes - Long Range mode, Flooding Mesh-Net, as well as a ready-to-go configuration. The module is based on the TI CC1310 System on Chip with a sub-GHz transceiver and has a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, 64 kB flash memory and an integrated PCB antenna. It is an ultra low power radio module with a power consumption of only 17mA @ 10 dBm and has a receive sensitivity of -124 dBm. In the long range mode, it provides a link budget of 138 dB, with a range of up to 10 km. This mode of operation is particularly suited for transmission of small data packets, such as those of wide sensor networks. The AMB8826 is available in a surface mount package that measures 17 x 27 x 3.2 mm and is ideal for IoT, M2M, wireless sensor networks and building automation applications.
