Wireless Modules for the WisGate Connect

Alfa Networks AHPI7292S WiFi HaLow Pi Hat

The AHPI7292S module allows building long-range, ultra-low power Wi-Fi networks in sub 1 GHz license-exempt bands, utilizing the very popular Pi Hat form factor. WiFi HaLow™ enables connectivity for many applications, including sensors and wearables.

Features

• IEEE 802.11ah sub 1 GHz module
• Newracom™ NRC7292 WiFi HaLow™ SoC (IEEE 802.11ah draft 8.0 compliant).
•  Qorvo™ RFFM6901 front-end
• MHF/U.FL antenna connector
• DIP switch for mode select and connector for UART
• Raspberry Pi™ HAT form factor with a 40-pin GPIO connector
• 3×LEDs

Note: this module uses the I2C interface by default.

WiFi6 AX210N Module

The Intel Wi-Fi 6e AX210 adapter is designed to support the upcoming IEEE 802.11 ax standard-Wi-Fi 6e technology and the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi 6e certification. The product supports 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 technology, delivering data rates of up to 2.4G bps and increased network capacity as well as Bluetooth 5.2 support. These new features deliver a significant improvement, supporting fast uploads and downloads, lower latency, and longer battery life compared to solutions supporting 802.11 ac.

Features

• Model: Wi-Fi 6E AX210
• Interface: M.2 A+E (includes an adapter to mini PCIe)
• Dual band: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz (160MHz)
• Speed up to 2400Mbps (the router should support 160 MHz channels-802.11ax)
• Support Bluetooth 5.2

Miro EdgeCard Mioty® 868 Mhz

The Miro EdgeCard mPCIe Mioty® Base Station Card (GWC-62-MY-868) by Miromico is a full System-on-Module (SOM) that provides a plug-and-play solution for long-range and low-power wireless communication networks based on the Mioty® standard. It comes in a MiniPCIe form factor exposing a network interface over a USB 2.0 communication device class (CDC) to interface the Mioty® Base Station Service Center Interface (BSSCI) data to a host processor.

The card is based on a high-performance Sitara processor running the Mioty® base station core library and implementing software-defined radio (SDR). The card embeds an RF frontend with an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), reaching a sensitivity of down to -136 dBm, and a Power Amplifier (PA), allowing a transmit output power of up to +27 dBm.

The Miro EdgeCard Mioty® is fully compatible with the WisGate Connect gateway and a helper setup script is available in the latest RAKPiOS versions.

Features

• Full Mioty® base station on Mini PCIe card
• ISM 868 MHz frequency band
• Direct Mioty® BSSCI interface
• Up to 3.5M telegrams per day
• Sub-GHz RF I/Q frontend
• TX power up to 27 dBm
• High sensitivity down to -136 dBm
• Fully Mini PCIe compliant card using USB CDC

RAK19713 Mini PCIe Module for LoRa®

RAK19713 is a host-controlled LoRaWAN/LoRa P2P expansion module in a Mini PCIe form factor for Linux gateways, Raspberry Pi CM4 carrier boards, industrial PCs, and other hosts with a Mini PCIe slot. It adds one long-range sub-GHz radio link through USB or UART using RUI3 AT commands. It is not a gateway concentrator card for building full multi-channel gateways. The Mini PCIe format matters because it lets existing platforms add LoRaWAN without redesigning the main board.

Built on RAK4630, RAK19713 combines nRF52840 + SX1262 for host-controlled long-range connectivity. It supports common integration paths, includes BLE 5.0 + LoRa in one module, and uses a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TXCO) to help reduce frequency drift during long packets and temperature changes. Hardware support for 779–923 MHz also helps keep the same design usable across common ISM band deployments.
