Description The Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 is a LoRaWAN communication module designed for long-distance, low-power IoT deployments on the EU868 band. Built around the STM32WLE5 LoRa solution, the Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 integrates a LoRaWAN protocol stack and supports Class A, Class B, and Class C operation for different downlink and power-consumption requirements. With UART AT-command control, OTAA and ABP activation, LoRa point-to-point communication, and a high-sensitivity 2.8dBi rubber duck antenna, the Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 can work as a gateway collection node or support direct device-to-device communication when a gateway is not required. The Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 is suited for smart agriculture, industrial monitoring, environmental monitoring nodes, and long-range sensor networks in Europe and other compatible regions. Notice: The EU868 version is designed for Europe and other regions using the 863-870 MHz EU868 band. Confirm local LoRaWAN frequency regulations and gateway support before deployment. Features Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 communication module based on the STM32WLE5 LoRa solution. Compliant with LoRaWAN 1.0.3 protocol and supports Class A, Class B, and Class C operation. Supports the EU868 frequency band from 863-870 MHz for compatible regional deployments. Supports LoRa P2P point-to-point communication as well as LoRaWAN network communication. OTAA and ABP activation modes for flexible network joining. UART serial interface with default 115200 baud rate and AT-command control. High-sensitivity rubber duck antenna with 50-ohm impedance, 2.8dBi gain, 195mm total length, and SMA male connector. Low-power design, LEGO-hole compatible housing, and development support for UiFlow1, UiFlow2, and Arduino IDE.

Remote metering, data acquisition, and field sensor projects using UART AT-command control. Product List 1 Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 1 HY2.0-4P Grove Cable (20cm) 1 Rubber Duck Antenna (@2.8dBi, total length 195mm, SMA male connector) Other Content The Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 uses PORT.C for UART communication: black is GND, red is 5V, yellow is UART_RX, and white is UART_TX. The UART interface and AT-command manual are useful for host-controller integration, automated provisioning, and application firmware development. LoRaWAN Class A provides the lowest downlink real-time performance and the lowest power consumption for periodic upload nodes. Class B provides medium downlink timing and medium power consumption for scheduled control devices. Class C provides the highest downlink real-time performance and the highest power consumption for real-time control, including industrial automation. Compared with the older LoRaWAN 868MHz unit, the Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 uses STM32WLE5, supports LoRaWAN 1.0.3 with Class A/B/C, provides up to 22 dBm transmit power, and supports both LoRaWAN and P2P communication modes.
