Dual-Band LoRa Module Facilitates Smart-Building Applications
A new dual-band (sub-GHz/2.4 GHz) embedded LoRa-enabled NeoMesh wireless-network module and LoRaWAN stack launched by NeoCortec and Embit is able to form a NeoMesh wireless network using LoRa modulation.
The new dual-band wireless module offers enhanced flexibility to customers, combining NeoMesh’s simple and massive scalability and low power with Semtech’s LoRa modulation’s ability to perform well over long ranges in noisy environments. It's particularly useful in buildings where there's lots of additional radio noise, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Empowering IoT connectivity and enabling broader market expansion across multiple sectors, the NeoMesh software stack implemented in Embit's LoRa module is compliant with worldwide sub-GHz and 2.4-GHz frequency-band regulations. It can be used anywhere in the world.

The EMB-LR1121-e module leverages Semtech’s LR1121 long-range transceiver paired with a STM32 MCU. NeoMesh is dynamic and scalable, supporting thousands of nodes that can operate on batteries for many years, and needs no repeaters or other mains-powered devices. NeoMesh can also automatically reroute signals, self-healing the network in the event of a node failure.
