MikroTik LoRa miniPCI-e kaart voor 863-870 MHz frequentie

Deploy a LoRaWAN gateway in a compact router or embedded system with the MikroTik R11E-LR8G miniPCI-e card. Designed for network integrators and IoT solution providers, this card adds 8-channel LoRaWAN concentrator capability to any compatible MikroTik RouterOS device with a full-size miniPCI-e slot. Operating in the EU868 band (863-870 MHz), it enables long-range, low-power connectivity for sensors, meters, and trackers across smart city, agriculture, and industrial automation projects.

Why choose it

The R11E-LR8G leverages the proven Semtech SX1301 baseband processor to deliver robust multi-channel reception, reducing packet collisions in dense sensor networks. Its wide temperature range and low power draw make it suitable for outdoor and remote installations. Integration with MikroTik RouterOS simplifies gateway configuration, allowing you to manage LoRaWAN packet forwarding alongside routing, VPN, and firewall features in a single device.

Ideal use cases

• Building a private LoRaWAN network for smart metering or asset tracking
• Adding LoRaWAN gateway functionality to an existing MikroTik router
• Deploying IoT gateways in industrial environments with temperature extremes
• Prototyping LoRaWAN solutions with a compact, low-power radio module

Good to know

The card requires a full-size miniPCI-e slot and an external antenna with a U.FL connector (antenna not included). It is compatible with MikroTik RouterOS devices that support miniPCI-e expansion; check your device's specifications for slot availability and power budget. The card is not a standalone device—it must be installed in a compatible host system.
