How to choose SX1280 LoRa module

SX1280

It is a 2.4GHz band RF chip from Semtech. This chip contains various physical layers and various modulation methods, such as LoRa, FLRC, GFSK. The special modulation and processing method greatly increases the transmission distance of LoRa and FLRC modulation. It is a high-performance IoT wireless transceiver and is compatible with the Bluetooth protocol. Excellent low-power performance, on-chip DC-DC and Time-of-flight make this chip powerful and can be used in smart homes, security systems, location tracking, wireless ranging, wearable devices, smart bracelets and health management, etc. SX1280 supports RSSI, and users can realize in-depth secondary development according to their needs. SX1280 also integrates "time of flight", which is suitable for ranging function.

NiceRF has LoRa modules which using SX1280:

LoRa1280、LoRa1280-TCXO、LoRa1280F27、LoRa1280F27-TCXO
