## The Arduino® Portenta Max Carrier LoRaWAN® Module

The Arduino® Portenta Max Carrier provides you with an unlimited range of applications, from robotics and medical devices to industrial or automotive applications; the Max Carrier possibilities are endless. One feature that boosts Portenta's Max Carrier possibilities is its **onboard LoRaWAN® module**, the [CMWX1ZZABZ-078](https://www.murata.com/products/connectivitymodule/lpwa/overview/lineup/type-abz-078) from Murata®. LoRaWAN® is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) designed to connect low power devices to the Internet. It was developed to meet and fulfill Internet of Things (IoT) devices' requirements, such as low-power consumption and low data throughput.

* If the sketch upload process fails, check if your Portenta H7 is in bootloader mode. To put the Portenta H7 into Bootloader mode, double-press its RESET button and verify that the green LED is waving. After this, you can try re-uploading the sketch.
* Check the position of the BOOT DIP switch of the Portenta Max Carrier. If the Portenta H7 gets into bootloader mode immediately after power-on, including when connected via USB-C, change the position of the BOOT DIP switch to OFF.
