The process of developing a transceiver device based on the LoRa (Long Range) protocol, which allows for packet data transmission over a long distance, is described. The sequence of development of a radio electronic device is presented. The choice of the type of printed circuit board, micro components, and the technology of their subsequent mounting is justified. The device was modeled in a symbiosis of two computer-aided design systems: Kicad and TopoR. The requirements for the device, taking into account the characteristics of the application area were formulated. The relevance of the topic is determined by the promising concept of the Internet of things, since in this way you can create any data collection system. The LoRa technology is underdeveloped in Russia, which makes the development of wireless data transmission devices of a wider range promising.
