Arduino MKR WAN 1310

The MKR WAN 1310 represents a leap forward in functionality and efficiency, building on the robust foundation of the MKR WAN 1300. Retaining the powerful Microchip SAMD21 low power processor, the Murata CMWX1ZZABZ LoRa module, and the secure ECC508 crypto chip, the MKR WAN 1310 introduces enhancements that significantly boost its usability and performance. Key advancements include a new battery charger, a substantial 2MByte SPI Flash, and a refined power management system.

A standout feature of the MKR WAN 1310 is its enhanced battery efficiency. With optimized configuration, the board's power consumption can drop to an impressive 104uA, allowing for longer operation times without frequent charging. Flexibility is a hallmark of this board, as it can be powered via a USB port (5V) or operate independently on batteries, offering versatility for various applications.

The addition of 2MByte on-board Flash opens new possibilities for data management and remote operations. This memory capacity supports data logging and Over The Air (OTA) functions, enabling users to transfer configuration files, create custom commands, or store data locally. The security of stored credentials and certificates is bolstered by the crypto chip, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.

This enhanced feature set positions the MKR WAN 1310 as an ideal choice for creating low-power, wide-area IoT devices. Whether you are developing innovative IoT nodes or exploring new applications, this board offers reliable performance and advanced capabilities to meet your needs effectively.
