RAK2013 Cellular WisLink Raspberry Pi-HAT BG96 LTE Cat-M1, NB-IoT with VoLTE
The RAK2013 is a Raspberry Pi cellular communications module that supports 3 cellular standards: 2G/EGPRS, 4G CAT4 / LTE Cat-M1(eMTC), Cat-NB1(NB-IoT).
The RAK2013 integrates audio codec and audio amplifier on it, with carrier operator’s network, it also supports Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) for high definition (HD) and uninterrupted voice calls. For easy use, there are earphone connector, MIC connector and speaker connector with audio amplifier.
The RAK2013 also supports a connector to extend sensor board. The sensor board connector follows MikroBus standard, MikroBus has many kinds of sensor board, such as temperature, humidity, 3 Aisx sensor, light sensor etc. It is easy to get sensor data thought MikroBus interface and can transmit the sensor data through cellular network to your server.
The RAK2013 can connect to RAK2245 Pi Hat board directly, which is RAK’s LoRa concentrator module following Raspberry Pi 3B+ edition. It is easy to make a LoRaWAN gateway by plugging them to a Raspberry Pi board, so it can transmit LoRa data to cloud server by the cellular network.
