Ai-Thinker Ra-08H LoRaWAN RF Module
The Ra-08H is a long-range, low-power LoRa module developed by Ai-Thinker, designed for LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) applications. It is based on the ASR6601 SoC, integrating an RF transceiver, modem, and a 32-bit RISC MCU with an ARM core running at 48MHz. Supporting LoRaWAN and LinkWAN protocols, it offers robust communication capabilities for IoT, smart meters, logistics, security, and remote monitoring.
With an operating frequency range of 803–930MHz, the Ra-08H module provides high sensitivity (-138 dBm @ SF12 125kHz) and a maximum transmit power of +22 dBm, making it ideal for long-distance, low-power wireless communication.
Key Features of Ra-08H
