The LR1120 is an ultra-low power, long range multi-band LoRa®

transceiver targeting geolocation applications. It integrates a long

range LoRa® modem, a multi- constellation global navigation

satellite system (GNSS) scanner, and a passive Wi-Fi® Access Point

MAC address scanner.

For LPWAN use cases, the LR1120 supports LoRa and (G)FSK

modulation on both sub-GHz and 2.4GHz bands, Sigfox®

modulation on sub-GHz bands, and Long Range Frequency Hopping

Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS) on sub-GHz and 2.4GHz ISM bands, as

well as L (1.525-1.660GHz) and S (1.9-2.1GHz) bands for direct

satellite communications.

The LR1120 complies with the physical layer requirements of the

LoRaWAN® specification released by LoRa Alliance®, while

remaining highly configurable to meet different application

requirements and proprietary protocols.

The transceiver is suitable for systems targeting compliance with

radio standards including but not limited to ETSI EN 300 220, FCC

CFR 47 Part 15, ARIB, and Chinese regulatory requirements.

Besides world-wide sub-GHz and 2.4GHz communication

capabilities, the very-low power multi-band front-end is capable of

acquiring several signals of opportunity used for geolocation:

• 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Access Point MAC addresses

• GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, geostationary) satellite signals

Acquired information is transmitted over an LPWAN network to a

geolocation server. The geolocation server analyses the signal

information and calculates the LR1120's position with data from a

geolocation database, enabling a valuable balance between low

power and performance.

The LR1120 geolocation capability is further increased by

Bluetooth® Low Energy beaconing compatibility to allow indoor

and outdoor geolocation use cases, as well as a powerful sub-GHz

ranging engine for localization and recovery of lost assets in

logistics applications.
