WISTRIO RAK5010 NB-IOT & LTE CAT-M1 TRACKER BG96, GPS, BLE

The RAK5010 is a tracker, which integrates LTE CAT M1 & NB1, GPS, BLE, and sensors. It is built on the Quectel BG96 LTE CAT M1 & NB1 module, which has an integrated GPS receiver. The MCU running the board is a Nordic nRF52840 controller.

As it has both GPS and BLE it can be used for outdoor and indoor scenarios, where location-based services need be present.

There are four sensors onboard: humidity and temperature sensor, pressure sensor, 3-axis motion sensor, and ambient light sensor. The extension IOs allow adding more sensors in addition to the on-board 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.
