RAK11160 Lorawan STM32WLE5 ,ESP32 868MHz with IPEX (105231)

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:

1. Standalone: Program STM32WL using RAK’s RUI3 SDK for sensor reading and LoRaWAN operation.
2. 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.
