on SX1301, which enables an easy integration into an existing routers and others
network equipment with LoRa Gateway capabilities.It can be used in any
embedded platform offering a free mini-PCIe slot with SPI or USB connection.
RAK2247 is a complete and cost efficient LoRa gateway solution offering up to10
programmable parallel demodulation paths. It targets at smart metering fixed
networks and Internet of Things applications with up to 500 nodes per km2 in
moderately interfered environment. The modules have the industry standard PCI
Express Mini Card form factor, which enables easy integration into an application
board and is also ideal for manufacturing of small series.
