What is XRange?

It is a wireless electronics development platform that provides extreme long range spread spectrum communication and has over 12km (7 miles) of usable range.

XRange is based on the SX1272 LoRa™ long range modem, low-power ARM micro-controller and powerful switching power supply.

According to Semtech's  Presentation


What can you do with XRange?

  1. Connections in warehouses where data cables and other wiring is difficult or impractical.
  2. Lighting, temperature and other building controls.
  3. Battery-powered data loggers, weather stations, and data logger/controllers.
  4. Solar panels management and monitoring.
  5. Data communication for the Internet of Things.
  6. Remote controlled irrigation systems.
  7. Point-of-sale systems.
  8. Security applications.

Why You should choose the XRange?

  1. It has extreme long range.
  2. It has ability to communicated through walls and other obstructions.
  3. It is low power.
  4. It is low cost.
  5. You can implement many wireless projects with little effort.

Pins Description


Battery Base Board

This board is lithium polymer battery charger (Li-Po battery is not included). When connected to the XRange, the Battery Base Board can act as a power source to the XRange and provide portability and flexibility on applications.


Range Test




Software development

We are working to provide open source libraries and firmware.

Mbed

The mbed development platform is the fastest way to create products based on ARM microcontrollers.”

We are working to provide libraries and firmware based on Mbed platform.


Keil MDK

We have developed libraries and firmware based on Keil MDK platform.

Project Plan


Some components, especially if ordered in bulk, can have lead times up to 12 weeks, so we might need to revise our timeline if we get a very high number of orders.

XRange needs your help!

We will use the funds from the campaign to develop the final hardware and the software for Mbed support. We need support to run mass production that will lower the cost of XRange.


There are six PCB prototyping boars based on SX1272RF1BAS

You can use them to build your SX1272RF1BAS  modules.
