1 Introduction
This document aims to allow customers to understand quickly the RAK5860 WisIO module. The
document covers schematic, electrical and mechanical details, as well as other related
information of the RAK5860 module.
2 Overview
2.1 General description
The RAK5860 WisBlock IO module, was designed to be part of a production-ready IoT solution in
a modular way and must be combined with a WisBlock Core and a Base module.
The RAK5860 is a module designed to work with the RAK5005-O baseboard, it provides wireless
communication (LTE Cat M1, LTE Cat NB2) to the final application. This module supports LTE-FDD
network and supports half- duplex operation in the LTE network. It also provides optional GNSS
functionality.
For debugging purposes, a Micro-USB connector is used for sending AT commands, data
transmission, and receiving GNSS NMEA output. Once the module is integrated with the
RAK5005-O baseboard, the internal UART port of the module is connected through the IO
connector to a WisBlock Core module.
