The WM1302 Pi HAT is an expansion board designed to attach the WM1302 LoRaWAN Gateway module, based on the SX1302, to Raspberry Pi versions up to Raspberry Pi 4B. This expansion board also incorporates a LoRaWAN authentication chip and a GPS module. The WM1302 module is a next-generation LoRaWAN gateway module with a mini-PCIe form factor. It is built around the Semtech SX1302 baseband LoRaWAN chip, offering enhanced capacity for long-range wireless communication in gateway products. It boasts improved sensitivity, lower power consumption, and reduced operating temperature compared to previous SX1301 and SX1308 LoRa chips.
The WM1302 Pi HAT supports the mini-PCIe form factor of the WM1302 module and can automatically configure its standard 52-pin golden fingers to connect to the Raspberry Pi GPIO connector with a 40-pin compatible header. This streamlines the development process, making it easy for users to integrate with Raspberry Pi. The WM1302 Pi HAT extends the functionality of the Raspberry Pi to support LoRaWAN and LoRa protocols for long-range wireless communication. Additionally, the integrated GPS module enhances timing and location accuracy for the WM1302 module. When used in conjunction with the WM1302 Gateway Module and a Raspberry Pi, the WM1302 Pi HAT enables the creation of compact LoRaWAN wireless communication gateways suitable for applications such as smart agriculture, smart cities, and other IoT scenarios.
