Pycom LoPy - LoRa+WiFi+Bluetooth MicroPython IoT Platform
The Pycom LoPy is a compact, triple-network MicroPython development board combining LoRa, WiFi, and Bluetooth on the Espressif ESP32 chipset. It can function as both a LoRa node (up to 40 km range) and a Nano LoRa Gateway (up to 22 km, 100 nodes), making it a versatile platform for LPWAN IoT deployments.
Programmable with MicroPython and the Pymakr IDE plugin, the LoPy supports all major LoRa frequencies (868 MHz and 915 MHz) and is LoRaWAN certified, CE and FCC approved. The dual-core ESP32 keeps the main processor free for your application while the network processor handles WiFi and IPv6.
