One of the many features of the Portenta Max Carrier is the Murata CMWX1ZZABZ-078 which enables LoRaWAN® connectivity. LoRaWAN® is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) designed to connect low-power devices to the Internet. It was developed to meet and fulfill Internet of Things (IoT) devices' requirements, such as low-power consumption and low data throughput.

The appropriate antenna and frequencies depend on the region. The common frequencies are 915 MHz for North America and Australia and 863 MHz for the European region. Frequencies are on a range, so for example in the Australia region it is possible to use a 928 MHz compatible antenna and configuration.
