Features

• Arm® Mbed™ programmable
• low-power RF module
• LoRaWAN® 1.0.2 compliant
• bi-directional data communication up to 10 miles / 15 km line-of-sight

When you buy an mDot for development, make sure it has a header pin. It normally has a "P" in its name e.g. MTDOT-915-X1P-SMA-1

Development Board

The mDot^TM Micro Developer Kit is a micro developer and programming board.  This kit is available in the form of a USB dongle, allowing a developer to plug in a mDot, mDot EVB or mDot Box and start developing their own application.

A dev board is sold separately. The mDot is responsible for encoding your data into LoRa packets, but the dev board allows your computer to communicate with the mDot
