Multiple Communication Integrated Board

Is RAK Wireless designing or planning to design a card/board that has both LoRa(WAN) and NB IoT in it?

Hi @celster,
This solution will be available for our WisBlock, but I’m not sure about the release date.

This is very interesting!

Will it support 433 MHz LoRaWAN band?

It will support all of the LoRaWAN bands as all of our products.

433 is legal in the EU but not allocated AFAIK so it’s not used for LoRaWAN (but is used for LoRa) - so this leaves the answer a bit ambiguous!

Low band LoRaWAN is apparently common in China

Hi @nmcc,
I’m not sure if I understood you right, correct me if I’m wrong but AFAIK the 433 MHz band is defined in the LoRa Alliance as a EU433 channel plan, so you can use it if you choose to. https://lora-alliance.org/sites/default/files/2018-07/lorawan_regional_parameters_v1.0.3reva_0.pdf
What I said is that our devices support all the channel plans so I doubt that our future products will support fewer channel plans.

Sorry, wasn’t thinking too clearly about band allocations - it’s legal for LoRa but we don’t have any definitions setup but all you need to do is enable the band, which you already do for CN …
