Editorial narrative

What Is RAK11160 ESP32 + STM32WL Module? RAK11160 is a dual-core, low-power module for LoRaWAN that combines the STM32WLE5 LoRa controller with an ESP32-C2 chip for WiFi and BLE connectivity. This unique architecture is designed for IoT applications requiring long-range wireless communication and occasional high-bandwidth tasks like MQTT forwarding or OTA updates. The RAK11160 supports two development modes: Standalone : Program STM32WL using RAK’s RUI3 SDK for sensor reading and LoRaWAN operation. Dual-mode : Use STM32WL module for LoRaWAN, and wake ESP32 when WiFi/MQTT/BLE functions are needed. Data flow and logic can be managed with custom firmware. For better frequency stability over the temperature range, the STM32WLE is using a TCXO for the clock generation. Note: MHF connectors are generally interoperable with IPEX-style connectors in most practical deployments, allowing cross-use in numerous designs. Why You Need RAK11160 ESP32 + STM32WL Module Build smarter, longer-lasting IoT devices with the RAK11160. Thanks to its ultra-low power control and dual wireless technologies , it's perfect for applications like battery-powered sensors , remote data logging , and asset tracking where energy efficiency and flexibility are critical. Why it's useful: Save battery life – ESP32 fully powers down when not needed Connect anywhere easily – LoRaWAN, WiFi, BLE, and P2P all in one module Store data safely – Built-in memory ensures no loss during offline periods Simplify your IoT design – Compact size fits into almost any project Note: The antenna of Check to Include is a supporting antenna for certification. When purchasing Blade Antenna , you need to use it with MHF TO RP-SMA/SMA Connector type MHF-4 variant. As our customers are starting mass production and deploying their products globally, we want to clarify that our modules' hardware supports multiple LoRaWAN regions. As there is no difference in the hardware, we optimized the variants in our store to make it easier t
