Semtech LoRa Edge™ LR1120 Wi-Fi/GNSS Scanner + LoRa®

Semtech LR1120 Low Power Wi-Fi®/GNSS Scanner + LoRa® Transceiver offers ultra-low power ideal for global geolocation applications. The LR1120 features multi-band LoRa and Long Range – Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS) communication over sub-GHz and 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands and licensed S-Band for satellites. Additionally, the transceiver integrates a Cloud-native multi-constellation global navigation satellite system (GNSS) scanner and a passive Wi-Fi MAC address scanner, both leveraging Semtech’s LoRa Cloud™ services.

The Semtech LR1120 Wi-Fi/ GNSS Scanner + LoRa Transceiver is intended to comply with the physical layer requirements of the LoRaWAN® standard specification released by the LoRa Alliance® while remaining configurable to meet different application requirements and proprietary protocols.
