The clever, long-range wireless communication technology LoRa™ (Long Range) is facilitating the future of IoT. (Internet of Things).
After launch of Pico LoRaTM Expansion (868MHz & 433MHz) SB Components launched LoRaTM HAT for Raspberry Pi which support 915MHz | 868MHz | 433MHz with Original Semtech SX1262 & SX1268, Communication Range Up to 5 KM and supports Auto Repeating.
Overview of LoRa™ HAT for Raspberry Pi
LoRa™ HAT for Raspberry Pi: LoRa™ HAT, a low-power consumption data transmission module, comes with an onboard CH340 USB TO UART converter, Voltage Level Translator(74HC125V), E22-900T22S and E22-400T22S SMA antenna connector, IPEX antenna connector, LoRa™ Spread Spectrum Modulation technology with auto multi-level repeating.

A consumer can conveniently transfer data in low-power usage using the latest generation LoRa™ spread spectrum modulation technology. With its longer contact gap, lower power consumption, improved protection, and ani-inference method, the E22-900T22S & E22-400T22S SMA antenna connector LoRa™ HAT sets itself apart from standard LoRa™. LoRa™ USB-UART connectivity allows direct communication with a desktop/laptop.

What is a LoRa™ Gateway, and how does it work?
A LoRa™ Gateway is a piece of LoRaWAN Network hardware that is set up to accept packets from LoRa Nodes and bridge them to a LoRaWAN network like The Things Network. This will normally accept data from hundreds of nodes at once and have LoRaWAN coverage for your devices as well as those within range. On a home network, this is somewhat similar to a Wi-Fi Router.
What is The Things Network, and how does it work?
The Internet of Things (IoT) Is a quickly expanding LoRaWAN provider that is continually expanding coverage in the UK and across the world. The advantage of having a public network is that devices built in one part of the UK can operate throughout every part of the UK or even the EU as long as you're within coverage!
You will create your own portal for you and others to use (such as IoT LoRa™HAT) and maximize coverage at the same time. The Things Network has a commercial strategy as well as a community plan that is free to use.
