850–930 MHz (US915/EU868) MHz SX1262 ESP32 37 dBm

Die BQ Voyage Station G3 ist eine modulare LoRa-Mesh-Basisstation, die den RF-Frontend von der MCU-Ebene trennt. Sie besteht aus einem Motherboard mit Fast-Transient-DC-DC-Technologie, einem MCU-Tochterboard (BQESP32V1M) mit ESP32-S3 (16 MB Flash, 8 MB PSRAM) und 1,3-Zoll-OLED sowie dem RF-Tochterboard BQ35LORA900V1M, das den Bereich 850–930 MHz mit bis zu 35 dBm PA abdeckt. Die maximale Spitzenausgangsleistung erreicht bis zu 36,8 dBm (~4,7 W) für US915 bzw. 37 dBm (~5 W) für EU868. Dank hervorragender Sende- und Empfangsleistung wird die Station G3 häufig zum Aufbau von Backbone-Mesh-Netzwerken in regionalen Mesh-Communities eingesetzt.
