Description
A drop‑in replacement for the RAK2287 Pi HAT. It puts a mini‑PCIe socket on a Raspberry Pi HAT footprint, which turns a Pi or a Rock Pi 4 into a LoRaWAN gateway: seat the concentrator card, stack the board on the 40‑pin header, and the SPI lines and power are routed for you.
- Concentrator socket: 52‑pin mini‑PCIe, for the SPI versions of the RAK2287, RAK5146, WM1302 and WM1303 LPWAN cards.
- Host interface: 40‑pin GPIO header that seats directly on the Raspberry Pi or the Rock Pi 4.
- Any region: the operating band is set by the concentrator card you fit, not by this carrier board, so one hat covers every LoRaWAN region you sell into.
- Controls: onboard reset button and a status LED, both brought out to the top face of the board.
- Form factor: low‑profile Raspberry Pi HAT outline with four mounting holes that line up with the standard Pi standoffs.
- Antenna: the RF connection is made on the concentrator card itself, so you keep the U.FL pigtail that ships with your module. We stock a U.FL to SMA adapter separately.
