LoRa and LoRaWAN Wireless Technology
LoRa or long range is a physical proprietary radio communication technique. It is based on spread spectrum modulation techniques derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. LoRa is a long range, low power wireless platform that has become the de facto wireless platform of Internet of Things (IoT). LoRaWAN defines the communication protocol and system architecture. The LN1140, supporting Modbus protocol and serial communication, is ideal for LoRa-enabled devices in the IoT system.

Multiple LoRa Frequency Bands
The LN1140 supports the following license-free sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands:

EU868 (863–870 MHz) in Europe
AU915/AS923-1 (915–928 MHz) in South America
US915 (902 to 928 MHz) in North America
IN865 (865 to 867 MHz) in India
AS923 (915 to 928 MHz) in Asia
KR920 (920 to 923 MHz) in South Korea
RU864 (864 to 870 MHz) 

Easy Installation in Limited Space
The compact-sized LN1140 is specially designed to be installed in a narrow environment, such as wall enclosure. It can be installed by fixed wall mounting or DIN rail, thereby making its usability more flexible and easier in any space-limited location.

Environmentally Hardened Design
With the IP30 metal industrial case, the LN1140 provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets without air conditioning. It features a ventilated construction in which a cooling fan is not necessary, thereby making its operation noiseless. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the LN1140 can be placed in almost any difficult environment.

Applications

LoRa Communication Solution
The LN1140 is a versatile device that supports both LoRa and LoRaWAN standards, which is ideal for monitoring and controlling embedded devices such as temperature sensors, access control systems, and security systems. It offers various functions, including controlling node settings and configurations, data transmission, data collection and analysis, and managing the LoRa network, node management, and other related functions. 

Overall, the LN1140 is a reliable and efficient solution for managing LoRa networks and controlling embedded devices, making it an essential tool for businesses and organizations looking to streamline their IoT operations.
