Introduction : Deploying reliable Internet of Things (IoT) networks in modern smart buildings presents significant challenges, primarily due to RF congestion, complex physical layouts and strict low power requirements. This application note covers features of EMB-LR1121-e supporting dual bands developed in collaboration by Embit and NeoCortec.

Dual Band LoRa Module NeoCortec and Embit

The module EMB-LR1121-e combines NeoCortec’s NeoMesh protocol with Semtech’s LoRa modulation. This module delivers massive scalability, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional noise immunity for global smart building applications.

Key features

The Embit EMB-LR1121-e module, empowered by NeoCortec’s NeoMesh software stack, represents a paradigm shift for enterprise IoT. By fusing the RF robustness of dual-band LoRa modulation with a highly scalable, self healing and repeater less mesh architecture, developers are equipped to build smart building networks that are easier to deploy, cheaper to maintain and resilient against the harshest RF environments. Following are the main features of EMB-LR1121-e LoRa Module.

  • Houses Semtech LR1121 long range RF transceiver which supports both sub-GHz (e.g. 868 and 915 MHz) and 2.4 GHz bands
  • RF Frontend is paired with STM32 MCU which handles network stack and application layer processing.
  • Supports program memory up to 256 KB and RAM up to 40 KB
  • Maximum Output power : Up to +14 dBm (868 MHz), Up to 22 dBm (915 MHz), Up to +11.5 dBm (2.4 GHz)
  • Interfaces : UART/SPI/I2C/ADc
  • Other variants as per embit website include EMB-LR1121-e/mesh, EMB-LR1121-e/m.
