LoRa FAQ

Q Can we develop our own applications in Murata's LoRa module?
Q What is the product lineup of Murata's LoRa modules? What are the differences?
Q What is the difference between CMWX1ZZABZ-078 and CMWX1ZZABZ-091?
Q Is a Modem version available for Murata's LoRa module Type ABZ?
Q We are defining the antenna for our prototypes. Does the RF pin already have the matching components to have 50 ohm impedance, or we need to add it externally?
Q In the datasheet, "STSAFE" chip option for this module has been mentioned. What is STSAFE option? How can I control it? Does this mean that "STSAFE" is optional or it is an option included in the module? What is the part number of the module?
Q What is the difference between LoRa and FSK? Can we use both FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and LoRa modulation?
Q What is the realistic range of LoRa? What is the actual range that can be achieved?
Q How many LoRa nodes can be connected to one gateway? Is mesh topology possible in LoRa?
Q Can uplink and downlink communication happen at the same time? Are there any restrictions on uplink/ downlink communication?
Q What are the external interfaces, and how many GPIOs are there? What about the flash size available in the ST MCU?
Q In Tx, Rx, and STOP mode, how much power is consumed for each?
Q Does the LoRa module support OTA firmware update?
Q How to increase data rate after enabling ADR?
Q Is it possible to communicate between Murata LoRa module and another supplier LoRa module by LoRa?

Q Where can I find the evaluation kit & sample? What is the cost? May I know the availability status? Where can I find the product lineup table and MP (mass production) schedule?

Q What are some of the actual use cases?
