Molex LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) Antenna uses frequencies used by LPWAN protocols like LoRa and SigFox in North America (915 MHz) and Europe and Asia (868 MHz). These antennas offer an optimized coverage range of up to 10 km and are ideal for outdoor and remote applications. LPWAN technology enables low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) devices, long durability, and a battery life of up to 20 years on a single charge, resulting in significant cost savings. These LPWAN antennas use low-power, medium-to-long-distance IoT machine-to-machine (M2M) applications such as meter reading, remote sensors, traffic control, and industrial controllers.
