Dual-Core Module for LoRaWAN® with WiFi & BLE | ESP32-C2 + STM32WLE5 Module for Battery-Powered Long-Range IoT | RAK11160
What Is RAK11160 ESP32 + STM32WL Module? RAK11160 is a dual-core, low-power module for LoRaWAN that combines the STM32WLE5 LoRa controller with an ESP32-C2 chip for WiFi and BLE connectivity. This unique architecture is designed for IoT applications requiring long-range wireless communication and occasional high-bandwidth tasks like MQTT forwarding or OTA updates. The RAK11160 supports two development modes: Standalone: Program STM32WL using RAK’s RUI3 SDK for sensor reading and LoRaWAN operation. Dual-mode: Use STM32WL module for LoRaWAN, and wake ESP32 when WiFi/MQTT/BLE functions are needed. Data flow and logic can be managed with custom firmware. For better frequency stability over the temperature range, the STM32WLE is using a TCXO for the clock generation. Note: MHF connectors are generally interoperable with IPEX-style connectors in most practical deployments, allowing cross-use in numerous designs.
