Wio-E5 is the world’s first LR module embedded with the ST system-level MCU. Since the launch of Wio-E5, it has proven popular with the LoRaWAN community. To thank everyone for supporting Wio-E5, and helping more users get a taste of Wio-E5 and implement it into their designs, Seeed is happy to announce that the Wio-E5 has now been added to the Seeed Open Parts Library (OPL) for Seeed Fusion PCBA. When used with the Seeed Fusion PCB Assembly service, the Wio-E5 module is available at just US$5.90 (40% discount, original price US$9.90).
Real Wio-E5 Module Applications
Enhancing the capabilities of LR technology, the Wio-E5 (STM32WLE5JC) module is highly suited for long-distance and ultra-low power consumption applications and is easy to install and fine-tune. However, by combining the LR RF transceiver and Arm® Cortex®‐M4 core, Wio-E5 lowers BOM costs, simplifies development and reduces the form factor, making it an excellent choice for new smart IoT projects.
Wio-E5 is suitable for LoRaWAN sensor nodes and networks. It can play an important role in providing smart and efficient networks for applications including smart cities, smart homes, e-health, agriculture and other fields. If you want to calibrate LoRaWAN sensors, build IoT converters or support any long-distance wireless communication application, then Wio-E5 is a low-cost yet powerful candidate.
Hardware engineers from TTN (The Things Network) first designed and developed a feather-style breakout board for the Wio-E5 LoRa-WAN module. Using Seeed’s turnkey Fusion PCB assembly service, the physical prototype was customized and delivered to their doorstep. If you are interested in turning your design into a physical product, come and give Seeed Fusion a try.
Seeed recently also introduced three of their own Wio-E5 designs: Grove Wio-E5, Wio-E5 Mini and Wio-E5 development kits. These development boards using Seeed’s STM32WL based Wio-E5 modules can be controlled through AT commands or programmed with the STM32Cube ecosystem. These three new boards exponentially expand development options for this ultra-compact “chip”.

The Wio-E5 module is designed to industry standards and is suitable for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) products, such as intelligent manufacturing, aerospace and construction, the foundation of Industry 4.0 and smart factories.
The highly integrated Wio-E5 has great flexibility. For industrial customers who wish to develop software on the module’s MCU, they can easily manipulate other GPIOs, including UART, I2C, ADC, etc.
Seeed is an official ST Authorized Partner to bring you STMicroelectronics solutions from Modules to Development Boards, one-stop prototyping services with Seeed Fusion, and integration customization.
Wio-E5 has been added to Seeed Open Parts Library (OPL), available for just USD$7.90!
What does that mean? Like all PCBA OPL components, these parts are available for use with the Seeed Fusion PCB Assembly service at a lower price, but more importantly, these parts are stocked locally, so if all parts are sourced from the OPLs, then super fast PCB assembly can be realized from as little as 7 working days.
PCBA PCS | Seeed OPL | MPRP | SAVE |
1+ | $8.90 | $9.9 | $1.0 |
100+ | $6.90 | $9.9 | $300 |
1000+ | $6.80 | $9.9 | $3100 |
10000+ | $5.90 | $9.9 | $40,000 |
From the OPL, Wio-E5 is available at $8.90, 10% lower than the retail price, and for quantities above 1,000, the price is further reduced to $5.90, a 40% discount.
Just add the Wio-E5 module Seeed SKU (317990829) to your Bill of materials and the smart quotation platform will automatically retrieve the discounted price and faster procurement time. With the smart online platform, you can get a complete turnkey PCB assembly quotation in minutes.
