The MultiConnect xDot (MTXDOT) is a LoRaWAN
device, capable of two way communication over long distances, deep into
buildings, or within noisy environments using the unlicensed ISM bands in
North America, Europe and worldwide. The xDot is a compact surface-
mount device with an mbed enabled processor and enhanced security.
