Scheda di rete MikroTik R11E-LORA8 interna

The MikroTik R11E-LORA8 is a mini PCIe LoRaWAN concentrator card based on the Semtech SX1301 chipset. It provides LoRa connectivity for devices with a mini PCI Express slot that exposes USB lines, supporting operation in the 863–870 MHz band used in the EU, Russia, India and other regions. The card offers compact internal installation and is intended for IoT gateway and concentrator applications.

Advantages

The R11E-LORA8 supports eight parallel channels, Listen Before Talk (LBT) and spectral scan functionality, enabling reliable multi-channel LoRaWAN communication and basic spectrum awareness. Its mini PCIe form factor allows installation into compatible MikroTik devices and other systems with mPCIe slots and USB connectivity. The product is cost-effective while remaining compatible with established Semtech SX1301-based concentrator implementations.

Suitable for

• IoT gateways and concentrators in private or public LoRaWAN networks
• Integration into MikroTik routers or other devices with mini PCIe slots and USB lines
• Regional deployments using 863–870 MHz frequency bands

Key specifications

How to use

Install the R11E-LORA8 into a compatible mini PCIe slot that provides USB connectivity, secure the card in the slot, and attach an appropriate external LoRa antenna tuned for 863–870 MHz. Configure the host device to recognise the concentrator and load compatible LoRaWAN packet-forwarder or gateway software. Ensure regional frequency settings match local regulations and verify connectivity to your network server.

Recommendations

Use the card indoors or in enclosures designed for network equipment; ensure antenna placement provides clear RF propagation and complies with local transmission power limits for the 863–870 MHz band.
