New MTAC? #6

Open PhatHub opened 7 years ago

PhatHub commented 7 years ago

I was going to build a gateway based on the MTAC with the USB sled modification, but I've noticed that the MTAC-LORA is now deprecated, and they've updated it to the MTAC-LORA-H. Original: MTAC Lora v1.0 New: MTAC Lora-H? v1.5

It says that it's "SPI" based, while the older one was "USB" based... I'm guessing that they're planning to skip the USB-SPI bridge.

The FCC test setup is very different between the two... Version 1.0 has the USB sled like Mirakonta has done, while the v1.5 has wires soldered directly to the contacts on the sled... FCC Testing

It looks like they've soldered onto some of the Reserved mPCIe pins...? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

There are two new boards, I commented it here http://www.scoop.it/t/the-french-wireless-connection/p/4076800452/2017/03/22/multitech-mtac-lora-spi-mtac-lora-h-and-mtac-lora2 and updated the wiki acordingly.

I have no such boards so I can't test them
