The LoPy is a compact, triple-network, MicroPython-enabled development board (LoRa, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), making it a suitable enterprise-grade IoT platform for connected things. With the latest Espressif ESP32 chipset, the product offers a combination of power, friendliness and flexibility, enabling the user to create and connect things everywhere they go.

The device can act as both a LoRa nano-gateway and a multibearer (LoRa, Wi-Fi and BLE) development platform suitable for all LoRa networks around the globe. It is programmable with MicroPython and the Pymakr plug-in IDE for fast IoT application development, easy programming in-field and extra resilience with network failover. It offers a blend of speed to deployment and access to LPWAN networks rolling out across Europe, USA, Africa and India.

The product includes a dual processor and Wi-Fi radio system on chip. The network processor handles the Wi-Fi connectivity and the IPv6 stack, while the main processor is entirely free to run the user application. An extra ULP-coprocessor can monitor up to 24 GPIOs and the eight 12-bit ADC channels, as well as control most of the internal peripherals during deep-sleep mode, while only consuming 25 µA.

As a nano-gateway, the product has a capacity of up to 100 nodes for up to 22 km. Its node range is up to 40 km. Other features include: a powerful CPU; a Wi-Fi range of 1 km; ultralow power usage; 2x UART, 2x SPI, I²C, I²S and a micro SD card; DMA on all peripherals; and more.
