Returns Simplified.Waveshare SX1268 LoRa HAT for Raspberry UART is a 433MHz LoRa communication HAT designed for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, STM32, industrial sensors, smart home nodes, building automation, smart metering, and long-range data collection. It is built around the SX1268 and uses UART (TTL) communication, making it suitable for projects that need a simpler serial LoRa workflow instead of a full LoRaWAN stack.
By using LoRa spread spectrum modulation, this board supports long-range communication up to 5km in ideal conditions, together with auto repeating, wake-on-radio, carrier sensing, encrypted communication, RSSI signal indication, and wireless parameter configuration. It is a strong fit for developers who need robust private LoRa links for embedded systems and field devices.
Important: This product uses a private LoRa protocol and does not support LoRaWAN. For regional deployment, confirm that the 433MHz band is allowed for your target market before ordering or deploying.

Why this board is useful
This board is designed for private long-range serial communication, which makes it easier to deploy than more complex networked LoRaWAN systems when you just need point-to-point, broadcast, or relay-style communication.
Long-range and low-power combination
The support for deep sleep, wake-on-radio, and auto relay makes it especially useful for field devices that need to transmit over longer distances while keeping power usage under control.
Compatibility note
This 433MHz model is generally aimed at regions where the 433MHz ISM band is allowed. Always confirm your local regulations before deployment, especially if you are building products for different countries.
No. This product uses a private LoRa protocol and does not support LoRaWAN.
It is especially suitable for smart home, industrial sensors, smart metering, long-range telemetry, and Raspberry Pi / Arduino / STM32 UART LoRa projects.
In ideal open-area conditions, the experimental range can reach up to 5km, though actual distance depends heavily on antenna, rate, interference, and installation environment.
The package includes SX1268 433M LoRa HAT, USB type A plug to micro plug cable, and 433MHz antenna.
