And select corresponding protocol module or software configuration version.In addition the module, which also has, configures I/O interface, as configuration feature and calls out
Module of waking up uses.The stand-by power consumption of LORA modules is extremely low, within usually only 3uA.LORA working frequency range is domestic usually in sub1G
Common 433MHz, 470MHz-510MHz, 780MHz frequency range, needs according to the corresponding antenna of corresponding frequency band match.
NB-IOT modules are all built-in agreement and radio circuit, and outside is gone out with 50 Europe antennal interfaces, data interface protocol
It is UART or IIC etc., there is standby, shutdown isotype.
EMTC modules, occupied bandwidth 1.4Mbps support that phonetic function, the module include pcm interface, can transmit VoIP languages
Sound.Can be connected with PCM between the module and MCU, the unified speech interface by MCU interfaces to user, or by SPI or
USB.Other interfaces of link block read the data of client's sensor, pass through GPRS or LORA or EMTC or NB-IOT moulds
Block is dealt into corresponding network.
Sigfox modules can use the mature modules product of Sigfox module manufacturers, can also use list SOC Sigfox
Chip, such as the product of the chip-scale of NXP or Onsemi companies.Usual these built-in chip types Sigfox protocol libraries and
Transceiver.It is typically to connect main control MCU with by UART buses if with Sigfox finished product modules;If it is with SOC
Chip is then to use spi or UART connection main control MCUs, and for the resource consumption of master control, the two is substantially similar.
The physical layer and link layer protocol of Sigfox is also all included in module or SOC chip, and main control MCU turns as just data
Channel is sent out to use.

Sensor can send instructions to user interface, and MCU control unit controls corresponding module and opens, and control sim cards and connect with respective modules
It connects.
In the above-mentioned technical solutions, SIM card connect, tri- kinds of system modules of NB-IOT, EMTC and GPRS simultaneously only use first,
Therefore three modules can be shared using SIM card, be connected by buffer, and switch ways switching is realized by main control MCU.SIM card
It can be eSIM chips or SIM card, specifically be determined by user.Other two kinds of standards LORA and Sigfox do not need SIM card then,
Its module can the built-in ID number, legal ID is obtained when being produced by module.The shared SIM card mode maximum can save plate suqare.
