Hi, Im Tomislav from Onethinx. We are a small company and we have developed a LoRaWAN module, for which we believe to be the easiest and most secure. We would like to know your opinion regarding our module. Your honest opinion? Would you use it? Is security important to you?

Range we got: 13km
Average range people get: 11km

Ultra Low power mode current: 1.7uA

Size: 20mm x 24.5mm

Datasheet: https://www.onethinx.com/Content/downloads/Onethinx_Core_Specification_revC-final.pdf

Here are some specs:

  • PSoC 6 dual ARM core microcontroller
  • ARM M0+ core runs certified locked stack
  • ARM M4 core runs users application (free to program)
  • Integrated Secure Element
  • Semtech SX1261 radio
  • integrated omnidirectional antenna
  • Small Form factor: 24.5x20 mm
  • CE and FCC certified
  • PSA level 1 certified
  • LoRa Alliance certified stack (transferable certification)
  • Bluetooth 5 (no antenna)
  • Easy to use API (few functions to get going)

Here are some of the main differentiators of our module compared to most other LoRaWAN modules

  1. Immediately ready to use: ultra short time-to-market.
  2. LoRa Alliance Certification by Similarity
  3. Implement ARM® PSA® in your LoRaWAN™ device
  4. The Onethinx core module uses the PSoC® 64 SecureBoot MCU with secure element functionality.
  5. The combination of the new SX126x LoRaWAN™ radiochip together with the highly efficiënt integrated antenna ensures robust LoRaWAN functionality and longest battery life.

Few functions to get going:

  • coreStatus_t LoRaWAN_Init(coreConfiguration_t* coreConfigurationPtr)
  • coreStatus_t LoRaWAN_Join(bool waitTillFinished)
  • coreStatus_t LoRaWAN_Send(uint8_t* buffer, uint8_t length, bool waitTillFinished)
  • coreStatus_t LoRaWAN_GetRXdata(uint8_t* buffer, uint8_t length)
  • coreStatus_t LoRaWAN_GetStatus()
  • errorStatus_t LoRaWAN_GetError()

Hi @Tomislav,

Thank you for this post. We are a small startup (based out of Amaravati in India) with a team of 6 who are working on IoT products.

Regarding Honest opinion : Security awareness has increased and most of the end consumers are aware of anything other than the word security. But it is not easy for us to prove anything related to security when and where a consumer asks for some clarity. In such a situation, if we can show consumers or government officials some proof like secure certification or an assurance they feel relaxed and our offering may be justified from them to consider.

Security is important to us, when we work on information critical projects. We can discuss more from Indian perspective in DM.

I have just ordered the onethinx dev kit and looking forward to have hands-on with the module.

Best,
Sri
