SX1276 chip Introduce
The SX1276 incorporates the LoRaTM spread spectrum modem which is capable of achieving significantly longer range than existing systems based on FSK or OOK modulation. At maximum data rates of LoRaTM the sensitivity is 8dB better than FSK, but using a low cost bill of materials with a 10ppm XTAL LoRaTM can improve receiver sensitivity by more than 20dB compared to FSK. LoRaTM also provides significant advances in selectivity and blocking performance, further improving communication reliability. For maximum flexibility the user may decide on the spread spectrum modulation bandwidth (BW), spreading factor (SF) and error correction rate (CR). Another benefit of the spread modulation is that each spreading factor is orthogonal - thus multiple transmitted signals can occupy the same channel without interfering. This also permits simple coexistence with existing FSK based systems. Standard GFSK, FSK, OOK, and GMSK modulation is also provided to allow compatibility with existing systems or standards such as wireless MBUS and IEEE 802.15.4g.

APPLICATIONS
LoRa network generally consists of terminal equipment, gateway equipment, network server and application server.
The terminal equipment is generally a small module or a terminal equipment with embedded modules. The transmission distance of such equipment can reach several kilometers, such as water and electricity meters, smoke alarms, pet trackers, logistics locators, etc.
Gateway devices are generally used to receive data sent by terminal devices and send them together. Therefore, they are usually called LoRa concentrators. When data is collected together, they are usually sent together. According to the network sending data, they can be divided into LoRa Ethernet gateway and LoRa-4G gateway.
The network server is generally a server built on the cloud, which is used to process the parameters uploaded by LoRa gateway and nodes, and belongs to the device server.
The application server is a client oriented server that converts data and provides it to users.
