LoRaWAN Bee V2 Helix Antenna Module

Retired Product

This page is to be used as a reference only.

Attention: The recommended ProIoT platform for LoRaWAN connectivity with the LoRaWAN Bee Module will be discontinued in January 2023. Before purchasing the product, please check that it is compatible with the LoRaWAN network you want to use. Alternatively, the transceiver can be used as point-to-point (P2P) LoRa.


This is the LoRaWAN Bee V2 Helix Antenna Module, the simplest way for you to send data to a LoRa / LoRaWAN network. It allows P2P communication via LoRa modulation, as well as communication with public and private LoRaWAN networks.

This module is based on the SMART Modular SMW-SX1276M0 transceiver, a transceiver approved by ANATEL. To facilitate its use, it was placed on a board in the Bee pattern, which is common for radio frequency modules. In addition, the LoRaWAN Bee features a chip-type antenna to minimize the space needed and make its design compact. This module is ideal for outdoor use. Make sure the location where you are going to use it has LoRaWAN network coverage before purchasing it.

This module operates at a frequency of 915 MHz and is recorded with the appropriate firmware to work with existing gateways in Brazil. As it has a UART interface, it allows easy communication with microcontroller boards.

To learn more about the SMW-SX1276M0 transceiver, we recommend reading the documentation available.

See below for typical applications for the LoRaWAN module
  • Automated reading for measurements
  • Home and building automation
  • Wireless security systems and alarms
  • Industrial monitoring and control
  • M2M projects (machine to machine)
  • IoT (Internet of Things) projects

Due to the module's communication rate being 115200bps, we advise using this module with boards that can natively communicate at this rate, such as BlackBoard Mega 2560 R3, Arduino Mega 2560 R3, ESP32 and NodeMCU ESP8266. It is also possible to use the module with the BlackBoard UNO R3 or Arduino UNO R3, but this implies using pins 0 and 1 for communication with the LoRaWAN Bee module, disabling the possibility of having a debug via the Serial Monitor.

Specifications
  • Operating voltage: 3.3 V
  • Communication interface: UART (115200 bps)
  • LoRaWAN Protocol for Brazil (AU915)
  • Operating frequency: 915 to 928 MHz
  • Helical Antenna

Olá, existe previsão de quando esse módulo voltará a ter estoque?

Olá! Infelizmente não temos uma previsão para o retorno deste módulo,  no entanto, para a comunicação LoRaWAN, temos shields para Arduino e HAT para Raspberry Pi ( https://www.robocore.net/busca/LoRaWAN ). Vale dizer que, caso o interesse seja apenas nesse módulo, o “Módulo LoRaWAN Bee V2” é incluído no IoT DevKit ( https://www.robocore.net/lorawan/iot-devkit-lorawan ).

Infelizmente não é possível programar a placa a distância usando este módulo. Entretanto, é possível conectar esse módulo a uma placa, e se comunicar (enviar ou receber dados) com ela à distância. Vale dizer que se for uma comunicação ponto-a-ponto, será necessário dois módulos desse.

Bom dia Pessoal, tudo bom? Estou com algumas duvidas de como utilizar o modulo via P2P. tem algum artigo com explicações? Meu projeto é a comunicação P2P entre o modulo e uma esp32.
Obrigado

Olá! Infelizmente ainda não temos nenhum tutorial que ensine a como realizar a comunicação P2P com esse módulo. No entanto, há uma seção no set de comandos AT ( https://d229kd5ey79jzj.cloudfront.net/1239/SMART_LoRa_AT.Command_v1.1_en_v0.5.pdf ) que detalha um exemplo de P2P ("5.4. P2P COMMUNICATION").
