MikroTik R11e-LR8 LoRaWAN Concentrator mPCIe Card 863-870MHz

The MikroTik R11e-LR8 is a LoRaWAN concentrator gateway card in a Mini PCI Express form factor, built around the Semtech SX1301 chipset. Designed as the international variant targeting the 863–870 MHz band used across the European Union, Russia, India, and similar regions, it brings LoRa connectivity to any MikroTik platform equipped with an mPCIe slot that has USB lines connected. The SX1301-based design supports 8-channel concurrent reception, Listen Before Talk (LBT) for regulatory compliance in listen-before-transmit markets, and a spectral scan capability that aids in network planning and interference analysis. The card's compact mPCIe footprint and low 2 W maximum power consumption make it well suited for integration into routers, gateways, and embedded systems where space and power budgets are constrained. CE and RoHS certifications confirm readiness for deployment in European and other regulated markets.

Key features & benefits

• Semtech SX1301 Concentrator Chipset — The industry-standard SX1301 provides robust multi-channel LoRa demodulation, enabling simultaneous reception across 8 channels for high network capacity in IoT deployments.
• 8-Channel Concurrent Reception — Support for 8 independent channels allows the gateway to handle dense sensor environments, reducing packet loss and improving overall network throughput for large IoT deployments.
• Listen Before Talk (LBT) — Integrated LBT capability ensures the card respects channel occupancy rules required in certain regulatory regions, making it suitable for compliant operation in markets that mandate this feature.
• Spectral Scan — The built-in spectral scan function enables operators to assess channel conditions and identify interference sources, simplifying site survey and ongoing network optimization.
• Mini PCIe Form Factor with USB Interface — The standard mPCIe card edge connects via the host platform's USB lines, enabling straightforward integration into any compatible MikroTik device without additional adapters or cabling.
• 863–870 MHz Operating Frequency — Targets the sub-GHz spectrum allocation used in the European Union, Russia, India, and other regions, providing long-range, low-power IoT coverage in compliance with local band plans.
• Wide Tested Temperature Range — Validated operation from -40 °C to 70 °C supports deployment in outdoor enclosures and industrial environments subject to extreme ambient conditions.
• CE and RoHS Certified — Carries CE marking for European market access and RoHS compliance, confirming the card meets electromagnetic compatibility, safety, and hazardous-substance directives.
