The MultiConnect xDot is a secure, CE/FCC/RCM certified, ARM mbed programmable, low-power RF module that provides long-range, low bit rate M2M data connectivity to sensors, industrial equipment and remote appliances.

The product is LoRaWAN 1.0x compliant, providing bidirectional data communication up to 15 km line of sight and 2 km into buildings, using sub-GHz ISM bands in Australia, North America and Europe. It is said to bring intelligence, reduced complexity and a lower overall bill of material cost to the edge of the network while supporting a variety of electronic interfaces to connect just about any ‘thing’ for years on battery power.

The module features a Cortex M3 STM32 MCU, 32 MHz clock speed, 256 KB Flash and 32 KB RAM. It has frequency of 860–1020 MHz (918–925 MHz in Australia) and data rates of 300 bps to 50 Kbps. It has ultralow power of 1.9 µA in sleep mode.

Interfaces include up to 19 digital I/O, 11 analog inputs, two DAC outputs, I2C, SPI, wake pin, reset pin, full UART and MBED/simple UART (RX and TX only). AT-style control command is supported.
