The IOT Tremoco module is a tiny Arduino Zero compatible development board with LoRaWAN capability built-in. It is tailored for battery-powered long-range monitoring and control applications. And you can choose the transceiver to be mounted on it, either the powerful RN2483A/2903A or the least expensive RFM95W.

Included

• 1 x IOT Tremoco board

Using the IOT-Tremoco board to connect your devices to the cloud is a very easy task, you can take advantage of the Arduino ecosystem to connect your sensors and put it to work in the blink of an eye.

Depending on your application requirements IOT-Tremoco can live in the same battery for years, this can be achieved if the board is left in a low power state almost all the time, and of course in the capacity of the battery. This feature brings the IOT up to another level.

And when the power is running low, you can charge it like your smartphone, just plug in the micro USB connector and it is ready to go. There is a charge status LED that will stay ON while the battery is being charged. Well, you don't really need a battery, it will run just fine straight from the micro USB connector.

You can be as far as 15Km from the Gateway and still with coverage, this will happen in optimum conditions such as a free line of sight, no obstacles, etc. In an urban environment, the coverage will be around 2 - 4 Km but depends on the configuration of the urban environment.

This module was designed with the LoRaWAM™ connectivity in our minds but it also can be used to make a data link between 2 or more IOT-Tremoco boards. You can easily create a secure, low data-rate link between two nodes over a few Kms.
