With just 17mm × 17.5mm × 2.15(max)mm, Murata developed a multi-technology fused LPWAN geolocation module, offering ultra-low power design for long battery life, superior sensitivity, and high flexibility to build customized low-cost tracking devices, suited for Internet of Things (IoT) asset tracking applications for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Based upon Semtech latest LoRa Edge™ LR1110 solution, the Type 1WL module also features STM32WB series dual core microcontroller (MCU) from STMicroelectronics and MT3333 GNSS chipset from MediaTek.
Designed for deployment globally, the module supports LoRa ISM bands from 860MHz to 930MHz, Wi-Fi® sniffing 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth® 5.2 specification.
The device has a single part number globally, simplifying customer supply chains.
Accommodating a wide range of temperatures, the module can operate from -30 to 85°C.
The new Type 1WL module will help designers to develop solutions that meet the most demanding requirements, especially in Internet of Things (IoT) asset tracking applications such as asset recovery, traceability, inventory management, theft prevention, amongst many more.
