Features of RAK3172 LoRa Module
Long-Range Connectivity
The RAK3172 WisDuo supports LoRa Point-to-Point (P2P) communication mode helping you implement your own customized LoRa network in a flash. The module also supports the following LoRaWAN bands: EU433, CN470, IN865, EU868, AU915, US915, KR920, RU864, and AS923.
With capabilities for long-range wireless communication, the RAK3172 can reach distances up to 10 km, depending on conditions. It supports various communication protocols, including LoRa® Point-to-Point (P2P), LoRaWAN®, and BLE 5, offering flexibility in device connectivity and control. This range makes it suitable for widespread IoT deployments where devices need to communicate over large areas.
Low-Power Operation
The RAK3172 module is engineered for energy efficiency, boasting an ultra-low power consumption rate of less than 2 μA. It harnesses the ARM Cortex M4 chipset, which includes the STM32WL and nRF52 systems, as well as the APOLLO 3 Blue technology. These components work in tandem to optimize power usage, making the module ideal for applications that require prolonged battery life.
Easy Programming
WisDuo modules are compatible with the RUI (RAKwireless Unified Interface). The RUI simplifies creating custom firmware with its easy-to-use APIs. These can be uploaded to the WisDuo module. RUI3 codes enable low-power devices and are portable to different chipsets. The RUI3 codes for RAK3172 also work with RAK3172-SiP and RAK4630.
Quick Configurations with WisToolBox
Configuring WisToolBox LoRa® and LoRaWAN® devices requires setting parameters. Configuration is easy with WisToolBox, which is available in desktop and mobile versions. You can create, store and sync templates with your RAK ID account. You can manage RAK’s default firmware and custom firmware here too.
RAKwireless WisDuo modules are designed for IoT nodes with LoRa® and Bluetooth® (optional) connectivities. All WisDuo modules supported by RUI3 API make custom firmware development simple and easy.
