NB-IoT LTE CAT M1 Quectel BG77

Product Description

RAK5860 is based on the Quectel BG77 NB-IoT and LTE-M module. It supports CAT M1 and CAT NB2 cellular IoT wireless protocols.

RAK5860 has, in addition, a GNSS location option that can use both GPS and Glonass satellites.

RAK5860 is the solution when your LoRa® application needs access to IoT but is outside the coverage of WiFi networks or LoRaWan® gateways.

RAK5860 adds wireless communication options to your solution. It can be used for example as a gateway between your LoRa nodes over LTE.

RAK5860 can be comfortably programmed with the Quectel AT command interface.

RAK5860 is ideal for battery-powered applications because the WisBlock system allows to power down the module completely to reduce the power consumption of the system.
