RAKwireless RAK11162 – WisBlock Core Module with LoRaWAN®, WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.0

The RAK11162 from RAKwireless is a powerful WisBlock Core module that integrates LoRaWAN®, WiFi, and Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity in one compact form factor. Equipped with dual microcontrollers — STM32WLE5 for LoRa communication and ESP8684 (ESP32-C2) for WiFi and BLE — it enables the development of advanced IoT applications for smart city, industrial automation, and renewable energy systems.

Key Features:

• Dual-MCU architecture: STM32WLE5 (ARM Cortex-M4) + ESP8684 (RISC-V) – high performance and flexibility for a wide range of applications.
• Supports LoRaWAN® 1.0.4 (Class A/B/C) and Point-to-Point (P2P) modes – compatible with global frequency bands: EU433, CN470, IN865, EU868, AU915, US915, KR920, RU864, AS923-1/2/3/4.
• WiFi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) and BLE 5.0 modules – provide seamless local connectivity and communication with peripheral devices.
• Comprehensive peripheral interfaces: UART, I²C, SPI, ADC, GPIO – allow easy integration with sensors and external hardware.
• Ultra-low power consumption (~5 μA in sleep mode) and wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) – suitable for field and industrial applications.
• Compact 20 mm × 30 mm form factor with a 40-pin WisBlock connector – ensures easy integration with WisBlock Base Boards.

Applications:

• IoT platforms combining LPWAN, WiFi, and BLE connectivity – industrial sensors, agricultural monitoring, smart building systems.
• Solutions requiring both local (WiFi/BLE) and long-range (LoRa) communication – such as gateways, data aggregation, or telemetry systems.
• Development and production projects – ideal for rapid prototyping and seamless integration within the WisBlock ecosystem.

Package Includes:

• 1 × RAK11162 WisBlock Core Module
• 1 × MHF4 Antenna Connector or Mounting Kit (depending on variant)
• Access to Quick Start Guide and RAKwireless Developer Resources
