4 LoRaWAN Modules Made for Smart Cities
As we automate and connect more of our cities to
make our lives easier, we need LoRa Modules that
can accommodate this undertaking. These modules
need to be compact and have to be suitable for
various applications that require long-range data
acquisition. Here are 4 of the best LoRaWAN
Modules available now for us to acquire data from
our smart cities

• RAK4200 This LPWAN module has an ultra-low power
  consumption of 1.5uA in sleep mode and high LoRa
  output power up to 19dBm max in work mode. It
  also supports LoRa Point-to-Point communications,
  which makes it suitable for different
  applications.
• Take a peek at some of RAK4200's key features
• Compact Form Factor 15 x 15.5 x 2.5 mm
• 20 Pin Stamp Pad for PCB SMT mounting
• I/O ports UART/I2C/GPIO
• Temperature range -40C to 85C
• Supply voltage 2.0 3.6V
• Frequency range 863870MHz (EU) / 902928MHz
  (US), ISM and SRD systems
• Low-Power Wireless Systems with 7.8kHz to 500KHz

• RAK4600 The RAK4600 LPWAN module features both
  LoRa and BLE communication capabilities. With its
  nRF52832 MCU and SX1276 LoRa chip, the RAK4600
  can be utilized in a variety of applications
  within the smart city setting.
• Here are some of its key features
• LoRa module for Smart City, Smart Agriculture,
  Smart Industry
• I/O ports UART/I2C/GPIO (optional NFC interface)
• Frequency range 863923 MHz (entire LoRa high
  band spectrum)
• Low-Power Wireless Systems with 7.8kHz to 500KHz
  Bandwidth
• LoRa Tx power up to 20dBm
• BLE5.0 (Tx power -20 to 4 dBm in 4dB steps)
• Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface
• Ultra-Low Power Consumption 2.0µA in sleep mode
  ïby using RUI-based firmware.
• 512 KB Flash, 64 KB RAM
• Supply voltage 2.0 3.6V?
• Temperature range -40C to 85C

• RAK4260 Lastly, RAK4260 is a SiP device
  integrating a 32-bit ARM Cortex -M0 MCU with a
  LoRa Transceiver in a compact surface-mount
  package. It is the perfect solution for any
  LoRaWAN end node developer and allows for rapid
  deployment.
• Some of its key features include
• High-quality Low power LoRa device (Microchip
  ATSAMR34J18 SiP)
