Maoze Electronics launches Laird Connectivity's RM126x series LoRaWAN module for global RF applications


On October 30, 2023, Mouser Electronics began supplying Laird Connectivity's RM126x series LoRaWAN modules. This module is based on Silicon Labs EFR32 SoC and Semtech's SX126x transceivers and has been certified for use globally in hosted or unmanaged mode. The RM126x module provides a low-power, long-distance global solution for industrial automation and control, intelligent agriculture, intelligent cities, utility monitoring, transportation, logistics, supply chain, medical monitoring, and retail.


The Laird Connectivity RM126x series LoRaWAN modules supplied by Maoze Electronics are mainly aimed at OEM customers who have a demand for excellent long-distance RF performance and ultra-low power consumption. This module is the smallest LoRaWAN module on the market with built-in MHF4 connectors. In managed mode, RM126x can be easily programmed using Laird Connectivity's AT command set through an external microcontroller. In unmanaged mode, RM126x utilizes its powerful Cortex-M33 kernel and Silicon Labs' Simplicity Studio to enable users to write their own applications in C language, or to leverage the sample applications and wireless authentication provided by Laird Connectivity. In addition, the RM126x series also features LoRa point-to-point functionality, allowing users to create their own dedicated long-distance point-to-point radio network between two RM126x modules. This series integrates temperature compensated crystal oscillators, ensuring excellent performance in the industrial temperature range of -40 ° C to+85 ° C, while onboard components can improve the DC-DC converter, achieving ultra-low power consumption.


The RM126x series modules are combined with Laird Connectivity's FlexPIFA and i-FlexPIFA antennas to provide flexibility for fast integration in space limited LoRaWAN applications. These antennas are flexible adhesive backed antennas with two types of connectors to choose from, MHF1 and MHF4L, with radiating elements facing outward and flexible installation methods. These flexible planar inverted F-shaped antennas are ideal for sub GHz applications, providing stable and reliable connection performance in the 868MHz and 915MHz ISM frequency bands. Therefore, the combination of RM126x series modules with Laird Connectivity's FlexPIFA and i-FlexPIFA antennas provides a more flexible, reliable, and stable connection solution for LoRaWAN applications.
