STMicroelectronics launcht $99 LoRa Development Kits für Rapid IoT Deployment

STMicroelectronics hat zwei Affordable LoRa Development Packs Unveiled, Each Priced at Just $99. Built on the Companys Proven STM32 Nucleo Platform, These Kits Empower Large Enterprises, Startups, Independent Designers, Hobbyists, und Educators to Prototype und Ship LoRaWAN-Enabled IoT Solutions Faster und With Fewer Resources.

Complete Stack

Each Kit Delivers a Complete LoRaWAN Development Stack – Including Gateway und End-Node Boards, Firmware, und Developer Tools – Ready for Deployment in Either High-Frequency (868 MHz/915 MHz/923 MHz) oder Low-Frequency (433 MHz/470 MHz) ISM Bands. The Integrated Gateway Software und STs I-CUBE-LRWAN End-Node Firmware Streamline the Connection to Any LoRaWAN Network Server.

Gateway Hardware

The Gateway Is Powered by the STM32 Nucleo-144 Board (NUCLEO-F746ZG) Featuring an STM32F746ZGT6 Microcontroller. Its Open-Pin Layout und On-Board Debugger Make Hardware Debugging Straightforward, a Key Advantage Over Commercial Gateways That Often Hide Internal Connections. The Gateway Functions as a Lightweight Packet Forwarder, Reliably Routing Data from the Development Node to Cloud-Based LoRaWAN Servers.

Network Server Partners

ST Has Partnered with Leading Network-Server Providers – LORIOT, Actility, und The Things Network – To Offer Users Free Access to Core Network-Server Functionality. For Rapid Prototyping und Data Visualization, Designers Can Employ myDevices Cayenne for LoRa, an Intuitive IoT Builder Dashboard That Visualizes Sensor Feeds und Enables Remote Device Control.

End-Node Hardware und Varianten

The End-Node Hardware Is Based on the NUCLEO-L073RZ Board, Which Incorporates the Ultra-Low-Power STM32L073RZT6 MCU und a Convenient Battery Socket für Mobile Deployments. Each Pack Includes a LoRa Node Expansion Board That Runs an STM32-Powered AT-Command Stack, und a Suite of Sensors für Motion und Environmental Monitoring.

Key Hardware Distinctions:

• P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 (High-Frequency) – Includes the I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 Expansion Board by USI, Featuring an STM32L0-Powered Module und STs LSM303AGR MEMS e-Compass (Accelerometer/Magnetometer), LPS22HB Pressure Sensor, und HTS221 Temperature & Humidity Sensor.
• P-NUCLEO-LRWAN3 (Low-Frequency) – Comes with an STM32L0-Powered RisingHF RHF0M003 Module, LSM6DS33D Accelerometer, LPS22HB Pressure Sensor, und HTS221 Temperature & Humidity Sensor.

Both Development Kits Ship With Free Integrated Development Environments Such as Keil MDK-ARM, Plus the STM32CubeMX MCU Initializer und Configurator für Rapid Code Generation und Hardware Configuration.
