Seeed Studio SenseCAP M2 | Multi-Platform LoRaWAN® Indoor Gateway | SX1302, 8-Channel, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, PoE (Optional 4G)

The Seeed Studio SenseCAP M2 is a fully customizable, open-source 8-channel LoRaWAN® indoor gateway built on the Semtech SX1302 chip and MT7628 platform. It provides up to 10 km of LoRaWAN coverage and connects to virtually any network server — ideal for smart building, environmental monitoring, and precision-farming deployments.

It supports multiple LoRaWAN network servers (AWS, TTN, ChirpStack) via Packet Forwarder / Basics™ Station, plus a built-in ChirpStack network server for standalone use. Set up in minutes through the SenseCAP Local Console (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) or the SenseCAP Mate app and Portal, with Ethernet, PoE, Wi-Fi, and an optional 4G model.

Core Capabilities

8-Channel SX1302 — Up to 10 km 8-channel LoRaWAN on the SX1302 chip with −139 dBm sensitivity (SF12) and up to 26 dBm Tx power for up to 10 km of coverage. Supports LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A/B/C with a 3 dBi external antenna. Multi-Platform & Open-Source Connect to AWS, The Things Network, ChirpStack, and more via Packet Forwarder / Basics™ Station, or run the built-in ChirpStack network server standalone. Open-source firmware lets you customise your own LoRaWAN solution. Flexible Connectivity & PoE Backhaul over Ethernet (10/100 RJ45 with 802.3af PoE PD) or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with an optional 4G cellular model. PoE lets you power and connect over a single cable for faster, tidier deployments. Easy Setup & Cloud Management Configure on a Web UI via the SenseCAP Local Console (Wi-Fi AP / Ethernet), or bind in four steps with the SenseCAP Mate app and manage remotely through the SenseCAP Portal.

Typical Applications

• Smart Agriculture: Provide wide-area LoRaWAN coverage for soil, climate, and irrigation sensors across farms and greenhouses (add the optional outdoor enclosure for field use). • Smart Buildings & Cities: Aggregate environmental, occupancy, and metering sensors across offices, campuses, and urban areas for densified LoRaWAN coverage. • Environmental Monitoring: Back-haul distributed sensor networks for air, water, and climate monitoring with long-range, low-power LoRaWAN. • Pilots, PoCs & Developers: An affordable, open-source gateway for rapid prototyping, LoRaWAN learning, and custom network-server development.

Technical Integration

Key points for fitting the SenseCAP M2 into your network:

• Connectivity & bands: LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A/B/C on the SX1302 chip; regional models in EU868, US915, and AS923 (each switchable across related bands). • Backhaul: Ethernet (10/100 RJ45 with 802.3af PoE PD) or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with an optional 4G cellular model. • Network server: AWS IoT Core, The Things Network, ChirpStack and more via Packet Forwarder / Basics™ Station, plus a built-in ChirpStack network server for standalone use. • Power & interfaces: DC 12 V / 2 A or 802.3af PoE; 1× RJ45, an RP-SMA antenna connector, a USB-C console, and a microSD slot (future use). • Management & environment: Web UI via the SenseCAP Local Console plus the SenseCAP Portal; operates −20 °C to +55 °C, indoor (an optional outdoor enclosure is available). • Setup help: For model/frequency selection or network-server setup, contact the shopioT technical team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SenseCAP M2 a Helium miner?

No. It's a standard, multi-platform LoRaWAN gateway and does not support the Helium network or the SenseCAP Hotspot app/dashboard. It connects to LNS platforms like AWS, TTN, and ChirpStack instead.

Which network servers does it work with?

AWS IoT Core, The Things Network, ChirpStack, and others via Packet Forwarder / Basics™ Station — plus a built-in ChirpStack network server for standalone deployments.

Which variant should I choose?

Pick the regional model for your country (EU868, US915, or AS923 — each switchable across related bands), and choose Ethernet/Wi-Fi or the Ethernet/Wi-Fi/4G version if you need cellular backhaul.

How is it powered?

By DC 12 V / 2 A or 802.3af PoE over the Ethernet cable — handy for clean, single-cable installs.

Can it be used outdoors?

It's an indoor gateway (−20 to +55 °C). For outdoor sites, add the optional SenseCAP outdoor enclosure.

How do I set it up?

Via the SenseCAP Local Console Web UI (Wi-Fi AP or Ethernet), or bind in four steps with the SenseCAP Mate app and manage through the SenseCAP Portal.
