The Northern Mechatronics NM180100 is an ultra-low-power module that combines a Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver with an Ambiq Apollo3 Blue (ARM Cortex-M4F) application processor and Bluetooth 5 LE — a complete long-range wireless compute platform in a 12.8 mm square package. Pre-certified for FCC/IC/CE, it slashes time-to-market for custom LoRaWAN and private-LoRa products.
