In the release article of the SX1262, Semtech says the SX1262 is compatible with ETSI EN
300 220, FCC CFR 47 Part 15, China regulatory requirements, and the Japanese ARIB T-108.
Can any of these be taken as a hint that this new series will have CSMA built in?
Channel activity detection should work as expected in SX1261/2, i.e. it is able to detect the presense of LoRa signal (with same BW/SF), not only the presence of preamble.
They don’t keep things in order with that community (and it seems that there a lot of disorder at Semtech at all) , so it can take some time to get your registration approved. But there’s a lot of (unstructured and unsorted) useful information in members area.
