Overview
1.1 General

KB6500S is a family of LoRa SIP modules integrated with RF front end and LoRa radio transceiver SX1262 series, which supports LoRa® and FSK modulation. LoRa technology is a spread spectrum protocol optimized for low data-rate, ultra-long range and ultra-low power communication for LPWAN application. KB6500S is designed for long battery life with 4.2 mA of active receive current consumption, and the maximum transmit power is up to +22 dBm. The module achieves high sensitivity to -148 dBm, which provides high interference immunity for all kinds of application scenarios. KB6500S uses LGA package with a very small size of 8x8x1.3 mm.
