RAK5010-M WisTrio NB-IoT Tracker

Thank you for choosing RAK5010-M-BG95 WisTrio NB-IoT Tracker in your awesome IoT project! 🎉 To help you get started, we have provided you with all the necessary documentation for your product.

NOTE

RAK5010-M-BG95 is an updated model of RAK5010-M. It uses the same circuit board and components except for the Quectel cellular modem used. The RAK5010-M-BG95 uses BG95-M3 while the original RAK5010-M uses BG96. It shares the same AT commands set as well so if you are using the AT command interface, the two versions are compatible. If using a custom firmware (created with our RUI V2 or another IDE), you have to take into account that on the BG95-M3 you cannot use the cellular connection and the GNSS location acquisition at the same time. You have to stop the cellular connection before you can start the location acquisition.

Product Description

The RAK5010-M-BG95 WisTrio NB-IoT Tracker is an advanced, highly flexible eMTC/NB-IoT/EGPRS tracker based on Quectel BG95-M3 (BG96 on the old model) LTE Cat M1&NB1, integrated with GPS, BLE, and a variety of sensors. The MCU running the board is a Nordic nRF52840 controller.

With the GPS and BLE features, the device can be used in a wide range of applications from outdoor to indoor scenarios where location-based services are necessary.

The board is equipped with two sensors on board: a humidity and temperature sensor and a 3-axis motion sensor. Additionally, the extension IOs in the module allow expandable sensor applications in addition to the onboard ones.

This board is particularly suitable to be used as a quick testing and prototyping tool for applications requiring NB-IoT connectivity. Application development supports the GCC environment.
