Based on Semtech LR2021 – 1.2W High‑Power for Sub‑GHz & 2.4GHz LoRaWAN Gateways
The N455AS is a high‑performance, dual‑band LoRa transceiver module designed for license‑free long‑range communication. It integrates Semtech’s LR2021 chipset with built‑in Power Amplifier (PA) and Low‑Noise Amplifier (LNA), offering +31 dBm (1.2 Watt) output power on both Sub‑GHz (868/915 MHz) and 2.4 GHz bands.
With excellent sensitivity and flexible frequency support, this module is ideal for professional LoRaWAN gateways, private networks, and applications that require seamless operation across both sub‑gigahertz and 2.4 GHz ISM bands.

⚙️ Custom frequency variants (e.g., 490 MHz, 868 MHz single‑band, or other ISM bands) and volume pricing available upon request.
The dual‑band version (N456AS‑DUAL) includes two independent RF paths and requires separate antenna connections (IPEX for each band).
For 2.4 GHz operation, the module supports LoRa modulation (FLRC) and (G)FSK, enabling higher data rates for short‑range, high‑throughput links.
