M5Stack LoRaWAN Unit EU868 (STM32WLE5) with Antenna
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.

Product List
| 1 | Unit LoRaWAN-EU868 |

| 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.
