Microchip has opened their RN series LoraWAN chips and stacks in their Github.

If you like their MPLAB X IDE and PIC 8 bit, look no further. What you need are there.

With Microchip's highest quality hardware and firmware, it can't be wrong. [emoticon:fbd079a1c4f748c5a234faee215de9cc]

Thanks for the article on LoRa devices. They are interesting. I learned about Semtech and it's offering of LoRa devices.

Also what would be more interesting is about different LoRaWAN clouds that offers the connectivity.

Interesting devices.

The capability of these components are very advanced from what I used to work with.

Wow - Just spent some time reading up on the modules which use the newer LR11xx chips, compared to the older SX series. I'm very surprised at what they do - they look extremely interesting.

It seems to me (I could be wrong) that the LR1110 and LR1121 might be extremely similar silicon, but with different firmware - they both support some common functionality, but they diverge on GNSS (LR1110 supports some GNSS functionality (a subset of what a full GNSS receiver does), whereas LR1121 offers (potentially) even satellite transmit!).

Both LR1110 and LR1121-based modules look interesting as a result (the modules will, of course, limit TX/RX frequency ranges since that's a necessary part of the hardware implementation to make the module usable for specific applications).

These Murata parts are extremely interesting, thanks for bringing them to attention. I will probably try some of them as a result.
