The Lora/GPS HAT is based on the SX1276/SX1278 transceiver. The add-on L80 GPS (Base on MTK MT3339) is designed for applications that use a GPS connected_x000D_ via the serial ports to the Raspberry Pi such as timing applications or general applications that require GPS information.
_x000D_
The transceivers of the Lora/GPS HAT feature the LoRa long range modem that provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference_x000D_ immunity whilst minimising current consumption. The Lora/GPD HAT can achieve a sensitivity of over -148dBm using a low-cost crystal and bill of materials._x000D_
The high sensitivity combined with the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier yields industry leading link budget making it optimal for any application_x000D_
requiring range or robustness. LoRa also provides significant advantages in both blocking and selectivity over conventional modulation techniques,_x000D_
solving the traditional design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy consumption._x000D_

This board can calculate and predict orbits automatically using the ephemeris data (up to 3 days) stored in internal flash memory, so the HAT can fix position_x000D_
quickly even at indoor signal levels with low power consumption. With AlwaysLocate™ technology, the Lora/GPS HAT can adaptively adjust the on/off_x000D_
time to achieve a balance between positioning accuracy and power consumption according to the environmental and motion conditions. The GPS also supports_x000D_
automatic antenna switching function. It can achieve the switching between internal patch antenna and external active antenna. Moreover, it keeps positioning_x000D_
during the switching process.
