N430AS is a high‑performance LoRa transceiver module built around Semtech’s SX1262 core, integrated with a power amplifier (PA) and low‑noise amplifier (LNA). Delivers +35 dBm (3.2 W) conducted output power and –148 dBm receiver sensitivity, yielding a 183 dB link budget that supports reliable communication over 15 km in line‑of‑sight conditions.
The module covers all major Sub‑1GHz ISM bands (169/433/868/915 MHz) and is fully compatible with LoRaWAN® stacks. Suit for city‑wide gateways and battery‑powered end‑nodes requiring multi‑year operation.
