N407AS: 2.4 GHz LoRa® Module with Integrated Power Amplifier – Product Datasheet
1. Product Overview
The N407AS is a high-performance, long-range 2.4 GHz wireless communication module based on Semtech's SX1280 transceiver IC, enhanced with an integrated power amplifier. Operating in the global 2.4 GHz ISM band, it leverages LoRa® modulation to achieve an excellent balance of range, data rate, and power consumption. With an output power of up to +22 dBm and a superb receiver sensitivity down to -132 dBm, it provides a robust and reliable wireless link for applications requiring extended range without the complexity of external RF design.
2. Key Features
Optimized High Power: Integrated PA delivers up to +22 dBm output for enhanced range and link robustness.
Exceptional Sensitivity: Down to -132 dBm ensures reliable reception of weak signals, maximizing communication distance.
Global 2.4 GHz Operation: A single hardware design simplifies global deployment in the license-free ISM band.
Multi-Modulation Support: Fully supports LoRa®, FLRC, and (G)FSK modulations for application flexibility.
Advanced Functionality: Features a built-in ranging engine for precision distance measurement and is compatible with the BLE physical layer.
Developer-Friendly: All SX1280 pins are accessible for deep customization and secondary development.
Compact & Integrated: A complete RF solution in a compact SMD package, simplifying PCB design and reducing time-to-market.
