RAK13302 1W Module
RAK13302 1W LoRa Module (Coming Soon)
★★★★☆ 4.0
📡 Repeater Overview
The RAK13302 is a standalone 1-watt LoRa module from RAK Wireless, aimed at advanced builders and gateway creators. Rather than a complete device, it is a building block — pair it with a compatible MCU (a WisBlock core, a Raspberry Pi, or a custom board) to create a 1W MeshCore or Meshtastic radio. It delivers 30 dBm transmit power with an integrated PA and filter for clean, strong signals.
⚠️ Availability: The RAK13302 is listed as Coming Soon on the RAK store as of early 2026. Check store.rakwireless.com for updates.
