RAK4630 Click combining long-range LoRaWAN communication and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for low-power IoT applications

Combine long-range LoRaWAN and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for low-power IoT gateways with the RAK4630

 

RAK4630 Click is a compact add-on board that provides dual-mode wireless connectivity by combining long-range LoRaWAN communication and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for low-power IoT applications. It is based on the RAK4630 module from RAKwireless.

 

KEY FEATURES:
 

  • Dual Wireless Connectivity: Integrates LoRaWAN and BLE 5.0 for both long-range and short-range communication
  • Integrated Components: Combines the Nordic nRF52840 MCU (with Bluetooth 5.0 support) and the Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver into one module
  • LoRaWAN Support: Supports LoRaWAN Classes A, B, and C, as well as LoRa Point-to-Point (P2P) communication
  • RF Performance: Operates in the 868MHz band, features high LoRa output power of up to +22dBm, and supports BLE 5.0 transmission power from 20 to +4dBm
  • Low Power: Designed for energy-efficient operation suitable for battery-powered IoT devices

 

APPLICATIONS:
 

  • Ideal for use in IoT gateways and remote sensor networks that require both long-range LoRaWAN and local BLE connectivity
  • Suitable for smart building automation and control systems
  • Provides a flexible and powerful solution for asset tracking with both long-range location reporting (LoRaWAN) and local commissioning (BLE)
  • Used in energy-efficient wireless monitoring systems where battery life is critical

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™

Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.

ABOUT MIKROE

MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1850+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
