Inquiry Regarding LoRaWAN Relay Support in RAK3172

I’m reaching out to inquire whether the RAK3172 module supports LoRaWAN relay functionality. Based on my current understanding, the module is compliant with LoRaWAN 1.0.3, which may not include native support for relay features introduced in later specifications.

If relay support is available or planned for future firmware releases, I would appreciate your guidance on the following:

  • Required hardware capabilities and constraints
  • Necessary firmware stack or version compatibility
  • Any configuration steps or documentation for enabling relay mode
  • Considerations for network server integration and relay-aware routing

I’m currently working on a deployment that could benefit from relay functionality, and I’d like to evaluate whether RAK3172 is a suitable candidate or if alternative modules should be considered.

Looking forward to your insights.

RAK3172 with RUI3 FW has no support on relay right now.

Some discussion that might help you.

I met STMicroelectronics last year and they have a STM32WL dev board that specifically supports relay. Maybe that can be a good start.
