Introduction

RAK

2247

is a LoRa concentrator module with mini-PCIe form factor based on SX1301.

This enables easy integration to existing routers and other network equipment with
LoRa Gateway capabilities, and can be used in any embedded platform offering mini-
PCIe slot with SPI or USB connection.

This module is a complete and cost efficient LoRa gateway solution offering up to 10
programmable parallel demodulation paths. It targets smart metering fixed networks
and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, covering up to 500 nodes per square
kilometer in an environment with moderate interference.

Main Features

Compatible with Mini PCI-e Edition specification with heat sink.

SX1301 base band processor emulates 49 x LoRa demodulators, 10 parallel
demodulation paths. It supports 8 uplinks channel and 1 downlink channel.

2 x SX125x Tx/Rx front-ends high/low frequency.

Built-in FT2232H to convert SPI interface of SX1301 to USB 2.0.

Voltage of Mini PCI-e is 3.3 V, compatible with 3G/LTE card of Mini PCI-e type.

Tx power up to 25 dBm, Rx sensitivity down to -139 dBm @ SF12, BW 125 kHz.

Supports latest LoRaWAN 1.0.2 protocol.

Supports global license-free frequency band (EU433, CN470, EU868, US915,
AS923, AU915, KR920, IN865 and AS920).

Supports optional SPI or USB interfaces.
