TP1109

TP1109 is a high-performance TPUNB wireless communication module developed by Techphant, designed to overcome the limitations of traditional LoRa IoT solutions. It delivers up to 76.8 kbps air interface data rate—far exceeding the 19.2 kbps maximum of standard LoRa modules—while leveraging a deterministic scheduling algorithm to enable high concurrency and prevent signal collisions. Built with next-generation ultra-low power technology, it consumes only 2 μA in low-power mode and as low as 18 μA in wake-on-air mode, retaining 90% battery capacity after 1 year of operation (compared to 40% for LoRa) to greatly extend endpoint battery life.

Packaged in a compact 17.7mm×15.8mm×2.2mm LCC SMT surface-mount form factor with 44 pins, TP1109 supports fully customizable parameters, and works for flexible networking deployments including local star networks, cloud star networks, point-to-point links, and mesh networks. It provides standard application interfaces including AT and debug UART, GPIO, and SWD debugging, with high receive sensitivity (-107dBm at 76.8kbps) that enables reliable long-distance communication in complex environments. For development and evaluation, a ready-to-use test kit with pre-soldered module, test board and antenna is also available, featuring a Type-C interface for direct plug-and-play connection to PCs.

1. Core Advantages

This module is a high-performance LPWAN communication module launched by Techphant, with 5 core advantages:

  1. High-speed Transmission It supports maximum 76.8 kbps air interface data rate, much higher than the 19.2 kbps of traditional LoRa modules, which makes up for the low data rate shortcoming of LoRa IoT networks. It uses a deterministic scheduling algorithm to support high concurrency and avoid signal collisions.
  2. Ultra-low Power Consumption Adopting next-generation low-power technology:
    • Low-power mode current: only 2μA
    • Wake-on-air mode current as low as 18μA Compared with traditional LoRa modules, it can retain 90% of battery power after 1 year of use (LoRa only retains 40%), effectively extending terminal battery life.
  3. Compact Size It adopts an ultra-small LCC SMT surface-mount package, with a size of only 17.7mm×15.8mm×2.2mm, which is suitable for integrated design of small-sized IoT terminals.
  4. Flexible Configuration All communication and function parameters can be configured freely, which can adapt to different application scenarios and requirements.
  5. Long-distance Communication It has high receive sensitivity and is suitable for long-distance networking communication in complex environments.
