Product Description
WisTrio NB-IoT Tracker Pro (RAK5010-BG95) is a tracker with integrated LTE CAT M1 & NB2, GNSS, BLE, and sensors. It is built on the Quectel BG95-M3 LTE CAT M1 & NB2 module, which has an integrated GNSS receiver. The MCU running the board is a Nordic nRF52840 controller.
As it has both GNSS and BLE it can be used for outdoor and indoor scenarios, where location-based services need be present.
The built-in sensors for RAK5010-BG95 are temperature and humidity sensor, motion sensor, pressure sensor, and light sensor, while the RAK5010-M-BG95 model features just the temperature and humidity sensor and 3-axis motion sensor for a reduced price. The extension IOs allow adding more sensors in addition to the on-board ones.
This board is particularly suitable to be used as a quick testing and prototyping tool for applications requiring NB-IoT connectivity. Application development supports the GCC environment.
To properly use this product, make sure to purchase a compatible Emulator Kit. We recommend that you directly buy from SEGGER Microcontroller's site to ensure that you get a genuine product.
The Quectel cellular modem on the RAK5010 has been changed from BG96 to BG95-M3 due to the supply situation. If using the AT command interface, the two versions are compatible. If using a custom firmware (created with our RUI V2 or another IDE), you have to take into account that on the BG95-M3 you cannot use the cellular connection and the GNSS location acquisition at the same time. You have to stop the cellular connection before you can start the location acquisition!

Hi, is this Arduino IDE friendly? Thanks.
At this point, there is no Arduino IDE compatibility. You could try the forums, perhaps someone in the community has contributed something I am not aware of, that might be of help: https://forum.rakwireless.com/
-
Hi, Does this board have FCC certification to be used in the USA? Otherwise, what documents do I need from you to make the presentation to the FCC agency?
No FCC certification. We can not say when this will be done, as for what you need to do it yourself I would advise talking to the FCC directly.
-
does it works in india?
Yes, it has worldwide band support.
-
Where do you get the JTAG mentioned in https://doc.rakwireless.com/rak5010-wistrio-nb-iot-tracker/burning-of-firmware-into-the-device? Also, is there a need to burn the firmware when we receive the unit from RAK?

What is the iPEX connector on the back side for?
This port is for an External BLE antenna, however, you have to rework the board.
-
Support GPRS comunicaciones?
The module supports EGPRS.
-
Does this board work in Europe?
Yes. It will work in Europe. The cellular module of RAK5010 supports LTE CAT M1, LTE NB2 and eGPRS networks. However, you have to ensure that either these services is offered by your Cellular Network Operator/Telco.
