The iM891A-XL is a compact and low-cost radio module that operates in the unlicensed 868/915 MHz band and combines a powerful Cortex® M4 controller with the LoRa® transceiver of Semtech® Corporation.

iM891A-XL supports the following LoRaWAN® frequency bands: EU868, IN865 US915, AU915 and AS923 (on request)

With an integrated +22 dBm power amplifier and a sensitivity of -149 dBm, a sensational link budget of 170 dB can be reached. This makes the iM891A-XL an ideal solution for numerous applications such as IoT sensors or home-, building- and industrial- automation.

It is also available without u.fl connector.

Prolink LoRaWAN® stack:

LoRaWAN® is a LPWAN protocol designed by the LoRa Alliance® to connect battery operated ‘things’ to the internet in regional, national or global networks.
LoRaWAN® network architecture is deployed in a star-of-stars topology in which gateways relay messages between end-devices and a central network server

The IMST’s ProLink LoRaWAN® firmware  can be integrated into end devices to participate in public or private LoRaWAN® networks. In addition, the ProLink LoRaWAN® fw adds a proprietary device to device communication to the standard LoRaWAN® FW.
