LoRa 865-867 MHz and 2.4 GHz Wireless Digital I/O Units

In the world of industrial automation and wireless communication, LoRa 865 to 867 MHz and 2.4 GHz Wireless Digital I/O Units are popular solutions for transmitting digital inputs and outputs over long distances with minimal power consumption. These units enable remote control and monitoring of industrial processes, making them ideal for applications that require reliable and secure data transmission in challenging environments.

Introduction

Technology:

• 865 to 867 MHz: This frequency band is widely used in India as a free band and for low-power, long-range communication. It offers a reliable solution for transmitting data over kilometers, even in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, making it ideal for industrial and IoT applications in diverse environments.

• 2.4 GHz: Although this is a higher frequency band, it is common worldwide for short-range communication and provides faster data rates with broader bandwidth compared to 865 to 867 MHz.
