Overview
1.1 Introduction
RAK2011is a compact cellular module that supports Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) technology for networking
Internet-of-Things (IoT). It can simultaneously support 2G, 4G/LTE, NB-IoT and GPS, with additional feature of Voice-
over-LTE (VoLTE) for high definition (HD) and uninterrupted voice calls.
These multitude of features allow users the flexibility of advancing from 2G to 4G/LTE without having any hardware
change, improve power consumption, system capacity and spectrum efficiency by utilizing the Narrow Band Internet-
of-Things, tracking units through GPS and location base services (LBS), stay on the 4G/LTE network even when
making or receiving calls and other networking requirements.
It is based on Quectel BG96 module and comes with drivers for Windows, Linux and Android support via AT
commands, as well as various network protocols such as PPP, TCP, UDP, SSL, TLS, FTP(S), HTTP(S), NITZ, PING
and MQTT. This is useful for facilitating software development and system integration into any IoT applications.
RAK2011 can be used as a development platform in tandem with microcontrollers/microprocessors for IoT
applications or can be used as standalone. It is in full compliance with FCC, CE, RoHS and Japan TELEC/JATE.
