NUCLEO-WL55JC:STM32WL LoRa Development Board for LPWAN & IoT Prototyping
Rapidly prototype LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and LPWAN devices with the NUCLEO-WL55JC. Features a dual Cortex-M4/M0+ STM32WL MCU & ultra-low-power radio.
The NUCLEO-WL55JC is a feature-rich Nucleo-64 development board from STMicroelectronics, designed to accelerate prototyping and development with the STM32WL55JC microcontroller. This MCU integrates a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M4 and Cortex®-M0+ architecture, offering a powerful and ultra-low-power platform for LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) applications. Supporting a wide frequency range from 150 MHz to 960 MHz, the board enables developers to build solutions using LoRa®, (G)FSK, (G)MSK, and BPSK modulations, making it ideal for LoRaWAN®, Sigfox™, wM-Bus, and other proprietary protocols.
The NUCLEO-WL55JC board includes Arduino® Uno V3 and ST morpho extension headers, allowing seamless integration with a wide range of shields and expansion modules. It features onboard USB with Micro-B, MIPI® debug connector, and is delivered with an SMA antenna for RF connectivity. The board also integrates the STLINK-V3E debugger/programmer, eliminating the need for an external probe and supporting USB re-enumeration for mass storage, virtual COM port, and debug functionalities.
The NUCLEO-WL55JC development board is available in two options: NUCLEO-WL55JC1 and NUCLEO-WL55JC2. NUCLEO-WL55JC1 is dedicated for high frequency band, from 865 to 928 MHz and NUCLEO-WL55JC2 is dedicated for low frequency band, from 433 to 510 MHz.
