The Ebyte E22-400M22S is a LoRa module with a communication range of up to 7 km, low power consumption, and support for the 433/470MHz frequency bands, meeting long-range and low-power requirements. The E48-433M20S, based on Huapu Microchip, features a transmit power of 20dBm and a communication range of 3.5 km. It also has low power consumption and is suitable for battery operation. The E42-400M20S is also an SPI module, operating in the 428-522MHz frequency band, with a transmit power of 100mW and a communication range of 2.5 km. It also features an industrial-grade design.
Also, consider the application scenario. For example, if a longer range is required, the E22's 7km range might be more suitable; if power consumption is extremely demanding, the E48's low-power mode might be better. Furthermore, compliance with local regulations is crucial, such as whether 433/470MHz is applicable.
Finally, ensure that the recommended information is accurate, citing specific parameters from the knowledge base, such as power consumption, range, and frequency band, and highlighting the advantages of each module to help users choose based on their needs.
