LoRa
®
Structure
LoRa
®
nodes are arranged in a star topology, with a gateway (server) connected to
many nodes (clients) in range. The client bridges to a LoRa
®
gateway, which sends data
sent over the internet for storage, access, and processing. Because LoRa
®
is bidirectional,
data can also be pushed down to the client, triggering actions based on insights from
the cloud or for administrative purposes.
Laird’s RM1xx series modules take the structure of LoRa
®
to the next level. The RM1xx is the
first LoRa
®
module that also contains Bluetooth
®
Smart (Bluetooth v4.0 or BLE). This creates a more powerful and flexible star of stars
topology in which the RM1xx module acts as a bridge between the Personal Area Network of Bluetooth v4.0 and the Wide Area
Network of LoRa
®
. This means BLE devices, which regularly have a range of a few meters, can communicate for miles with the
RM1xx, enabling a massive array of new applications.
LoRa
®
Is an Ideal Protocol for Countless EIoT Applications
The RM1xx is ideal for smart metering. It may be
connected to a residential utility meter and
transmit usage data to a LoRa
®
gateway within
miles. Low-volume data means low dat
batteries that last years without replacement. Usage data
further be routed to cloud storage and applications for
processing, billing, analytics, and insight.
Remote Security Monitoring
The RM1xx excels with home security devices like
door, window, and motions sensors. An RM1xx-
powered home security system can broadcast its
status regularly to a monitoring station via a LoRa
®
gateway. As many as eight peripherals can be connected to
the system via Bluetooth Smart, creating a hub of smart BLE
Industrial Automation
Sensor data can provide deep insights
maintain efficiency and productivity, especially
manufacturing. Sensors can monitor and report
output vs. targets, downtime vs.
critical metrics from the floor across an entire facility with
LoRa
®
. A LoRa
®
network blankets an entire facility and gathers
Municipal Assets Management
Cities and towns can take control over street
lights, traffic signals and more with LoRa
®
. Data
from signals and sensors can be collected over
LoRa
®
and used to improve traffic patterns.
Damaged devices can call for repairs. Tracking assets that
spread across large areas requires a full-scale network. LoRa
®
makes this network easy to build and maintain.
The RM1xx series LoRa
®
+ Bluetooth
®
v4.0 modules uniquely bring Bluetooth
®
Smart (BLE) and LoRa
®
together,
enabling exciting new applications for the Enterprise Internet of Things. The RM1xx series builds on the flexibility,
security, stability, and efficiency of LoRa
®
to provide the most innovative, powerful, easy to use LoRa
®
module
available. And with smartBASIC, Laird dramatically simplifies your application development to reduce your time to
market. Visit http://www.lairdtech.com/products/rm1xx-lora-modules to learn more.
