Editorial narrative

RAK5146 is an LPWAN Concentrator Module with a mini-PCIe form factor based on Semtech SX1303 and SX126X for Listen Before Talk feature , which enables easy integration into an existing router, network equipment, or host board to add LoRaWAN Gateway capabilities. It can be used in any embedded platform offering a free mini-PCIe slot with SPI/USB connection. Furthermore, ZOE- M8Q GPS chip is integrated onboard for precise time synchronization. Note: To use the RAK5146 with the RAK2287/RAK5146 Pi HAT , select the SPI interface. The RAK5146 with USB interface can be used with the mPCIe to USB board . If you are unsure about the compatibility of your order, request support at inquiry @rakwireles s.com. This module is an exceptional, complete, and cost-efficient gateway solution offering up to 10 programmable parallel demodulation paths, 8 x 8 channel LoRa packet detectors, 8 x SF5-SF12 LoRa demodulators, and 8 x SF5-SF10 LoRa demodulators. It is capable of detecting an uninterrupted combination of packets at 8 different spreading factors and 10 channels with continuous demodulation of up to 16 packets. This product is best for smart metering fixed networks and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The module can be quickly set up and integrated with our examples for Raspberry Pi and Linux-based host devices. Note: RAK5146 supports EU868/IN865/RU864 or US915/AS923/KR920/AU915 LoRaWAN bands (selected from the frequency menu). RAK5146L supports CN470 or EU433 LoRaWAN bands (selected from the frequency menu). Product Features Designed based on Mini PCI-e form factor. SX1303 baseband processor emulates 8x8 channel LoRa packet detectors, 8x SF5-SF12 LoRa demodulators, 8x SF5-SF10 LoRa demodulators, one 125 /250 / 500 kHz high-speed LoRa demodulator, and one (G)FSK demodulator. 3v Mini PCI-e, compatible with 3G/LTE card of Mini PCI-e type. Tx power up to 27dBm, Rx sensitivity down to -139dBm@SF12, BW 125 kHz. Supports global license-free frequency band - EU868, EU433, CN470, U
