Overview

RAK4600 Evaluation Board is designed to give you a quick start to explore the LoRa/LPWAN world. The board measures 30 x 60 mm and supports USB power supply, 3.7 V LiPo battery, and 5 V solar charging.

The board itself has the RAK4600 as its core, which is a module that utilizes Nordic nRF52832 MCU and an SX1276 LoRa chip. The high level of integration allows for outstanding performance: Lora TX Power of up to 20 dBm.

The board complies with LoRaWAN 1.0.2 specification, and it also supports LoRa P2P Point to Point communication. The low power, long-range LoRa communication capabilities of the board make it suitable for a variety of applications in the IoT field such as home automation, sensor networks, building automation, and personal area networks applications such as health/fitness sensors and monitors
