- Mini-PCIe form factor with the standard 52-pin golden finger, easy to integrate with various gateway devices.
- Ultra-low operating temperature, no additional heat dissipation needed, reducing the size of LoRaWAN gateway.
- High sensitivity down to -139 dBm @SF12 with SX1250 TX/RX front-end; TX power up to 26 dBm @3.3V.
WM1302 module is a new generation of LoRaWAN gateway module with mini-PCIe
form-fact based on the Semtech® SX1302 baseband LoRaWAN® chip, WM1302 unlocks
the greater potential capacity of long-range wireless transmission for gateway
products. It features high sensitivity, less power consumption, and lower
operating temperature compared with the previous SX1301 and SX1308 LoRa®
chips.
WM1302 LoRaWAN gateway module has SPI and USB versions on both US915 and EU868
frequency bands, enabling you to have a wide range of LoRaWAN frequency plans
options to choose including EU868, US915, AS923, AS920, AU915, KR920, and
IN865.
WM1302 module is CE, FCC and Telec certified, which helps simplify the
development and certification process of the LoRaWAN gateway devices.
WM1302 is designed for M2M and IoT applications and can be widely applied in
LPWAN gateway supported scenarios. It would be a perfect choice for you to
significantly reduce the technical difficulties and time consumption when
developing the LoRa gateway devices, including LoRaWAN gateway, miner
hotspots, etc.

FCC regulatory information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning: Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
End Device Labelling
Please notice that if the FCC identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into
which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following:
“Contains FCC ID: Z4T-WM1302-A and Z4T-WM1302-B” any similar wording that
expresses the same meaning may be used.
RF Exposure Compliance
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Installation Notice
The module is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM integrator is
responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instruction to remove
or install-module.
The module is limited to installation in the mobile applications; A separate
approval is required for all other operating configurations, including
portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna
configurations.
FCC Part 15B Compliance of End Device
The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the host product which is
installed and operating with the module is in compliant with Part 15B
unintentional Radiator requirements, please note that For a Class B digital
device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user manual of the end-
user product shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a
prominent location in the text of the manual:
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
