Description
The Seeed Studio Wio-SX1262 LoRa Module for XIAO (113010003) is a compact, ultra-low-power wireless communication expansion module designed for the Seeed Studio XIAO development board ecosystem. Powered by the Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver, it enables long-range, energy-efficient wireless data transmission for Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, remote monitoring, and embedded communication applications.
Operating across the 862–930MHz frequency range, the module supports LoRa communication with a maximum RF output power of +22dBm, making it suitable for low-power, long-distance wireless connectivity.
Featuring an SPI communication interface and XIAO-compatible pin headers, the Wio-SX1262 offers convenient integration with supported XIAO development boards. Its compact, stackable form factor helps simplify hardware development for portable and space-constrained IoT devices.
With a low sleep current of approximately 1.62µA, the module is particularly useful for battery-powered applications requiring energy-efficient wireless communication. It is ideal for smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, asset tracking, remote sensor nodes, and LoRa-based networking projects.
