RAK2247 Gateway Concentrator Module for LoRaWAN, SX1301/SX1308 LoRa Core (SPI or USB, GPS)

Notice: Due to the silicon chip price increase, the price for RAK2247 has changed and the current lead time for this component is 30 to 40 weeks due to the challenges we are experiencing in our supply chain at the moment. Since the stock is still unstable and could be more expensive, we recommend RAK5146 as an alternative item that has the same hardware form factor for future designs.

To address the chip shortage and not disrupt our customers’ and partners’ operations, the RAK2247 SPI is available with SX1308 core. It can completely replace the RAK2247 with SX1301. The only difference is the operating temperature:

RAK2247 (SX1301) – Operating ambient temperature: -40°C to +85°C.

RAK2247 (SX1308) – operating ambient temperature: 0°C to + 70°C

Product Description

The RAK2247 is the evolution of RAK833. It retains the same small form factor (mPCIE) and is just as easy to integrate as the previous model. It, however, comes with a number of improvements.

Its maximum transmission power has been boosted in order to achieve even greater range, so your LoRaWAN network coverage is even wider.

The addition of the heat-sink improves thermals and allows for even more stable operation in strenuous conditions.

Last, but not least is the enhancement of the board design. Now there is a second SAW, which allows the interference resistance of the gateway this module will be powering to be boosted, as compared to the previous generation. This will be a very important feature, as LoRaWAN® network deployment explodes in the coming years and their size blows out of proportions. High interference resistance, coupled with the already excellent -139dBM sensitivity will be key to supporting the increasing number of nodes in the growing network.
