Wio Terminal LoRaWAN Chassis with Antenna built-in LoRa-E5 and GNSS GPS

Note:  Recently we identified and issue with some batches of these units shipping from Seeed Studio where the GPS was set to operate at a different speed (115200 baud) to the specification (9600 baud).  These units have all been tested and, where necessary, updated to correct this issue.

Wio Terminal LoRaWan Chassis with Antenna-built-in LoRa-E5 and GNSS, EU868/US915 embedded with LoRa-E5 STM32WLE5JC, powered by ARM Cortex M4 ultra-low-power MCU core and LoRa SX126x, is a wireless radio module supporting LoRa and LoRaWAN protocol on the EU868 & US915 frequency and (G)FSK, BPSK, (G)MSK, LoRa modulations. Wio Terminal LoRaWan Chassis with Antenna-built-in LoRa-E5 and GNSS, EU868/US915 can endow your development boards' strong features of ultra-long transmitting range by easily plug and play with Grove connector on board.

As an upgrade of our old version - Grove - LoRa Radio - powered by RFM95 ultra-long-range Transceiver Module, Grove LoRa-E5 embedded with LoRa-E5 STM32WLE5JC Module is a high-performance and easy-to-use wireless radio LoRa module supporting LoRaWAN protocol.

LoRa-E5 LoRaWAN STM32WLE5JC module is the major functional part integrated into Wio Terminal LoRaWan Chassis with Antenna-built-in LoRa-E5 and GNSS, EU868/US915. It is a LoRaWAN module that embedded with ARM Cortex M4 ultra-low-power MCU core and LoRa SX126x, as the world-first combo of LoRa RF and MCU chip into one single tiny module, it supports (G)FSK, BPSK, (G)MSK, and LoRa modulations, and is FCC, CE certified.

By connecting Wio Terminal LoRaWan Chassis with Antenna-built-in LoRa-E5 and GNSS, EU868/US915 to your development boards, your devices are able to communicate with and control LoRa-E5 conveniently by AT command through UART connection. Grove LoRa-E5 will be a superior choice for IoT device development, testing, and long-distance, ultra-low power consumption IoT scenarios like smart agriculture, smart office, and smart industry. It is designed with industrial standards with a wide working temperature at -40℃ ~ 85℃, high sensitivity between -136 dBm and -137 dBm, and power output between 10 dBm and 22 dBm.

Helium use case

Paired with the Wio LoRa-E5 Chassis with GNSS GPS (not included) or Grove LoRa modules (not included), the Wio Terminal can be a fantastic platform for prototyping Helium nodes, or as a LoRaWAN Field Tester or Helium Mapper.  See the popular WioLoRaWANFieldTester project by Paul Pinault for one such use case.
