Features

Powered by Semtech® SX1302 baseband LoRa® chip, extremely low power consumption and high performance.
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-factor.
Based on the Semtech® SX1302 baseband LoRaWAN® chip, WM1302 unlocks the greater potential capacity of long-range wireless transmission for gateway products. It features higher
sensitivity, less power consumption, and lower operating temperature compared with the previous SX1301 and SX1308 LoRa® chip.

WM1302 LoRaWAN gateway module has SPI and USB versions on both US915 and EU868 frequency bands, enable 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 mobile application; A separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and difference 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.
