Zest_Radio_LoRa868

Overview

The Zest_Radio_LoRa868 is an electronics development board for 6TRON open source platform based on Zest_Module_LoRa868 board.

It is a carrier board for Zest_Module_LoRa868 modules.

The Zest_Radio_LoRa868 integrates a 3.3V power supply and a ceramic 868MHz antenna.

The board is customized to work at 868MHz but can embed different frequencies if modules have uFL connection.

The Zest_Radio_LoRa868 offers 6TRON users a Long-Range connectivity to devices, systems and sensors communicating with low power over a long distance.
