1 What It Is

The MKR WAN 1310 is a member of the Arduino MKR family designed for low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) communicationremote sensor nodes, IoT stations, and long-range wireless projects.

2 Long-Range Wireless (LoRa) Technology

Uses Murata CMWX1ZZABZ LoRa module to connect over long distances (hundreds of meters to kilometers). LoRaWAN protocol compatibility works with gateways like Arduino Pro Gateway and networks like The Things Network. Can also operate in peer-to-peer LoRa mode for direct board-to-board communication.

LoRa is ideal for:

• Agricultural sensors

• Environmental monitoring

• Asset tracking

• Remote control devices

• Smart city nodes

3 Low Power & Battery Ready

The board supports rechargeable Li-Po/Li-Ion batteries (1024 mAh) for long operation without mains power.months or years depending on use.

4 Advanced Security

ATECC508 secure element hardware-based key storage and encryption. Protects credentials, certificates, and communication crucial for secure IoT deployments.
