We’ve Open-Sourced SenseCAP T1000-E for LoRaWAN and SenseCAP M2 LoRaWAN Gateway – Unlocking Full Control and Customization
Introduction: Open Hardware for Real-World Innovation
At Seeed Studio, we’ve always believed that innovation grows stronger in an open ecosystem. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’ve officially open-sourced two key products from the SenseCAP LoRaWAN lineup: the SenseCAP T1000-E Card Tracker for LoRaWAN(not the Meshtastic version) and the SenseCAP M2 LoRaWAN Gateways.
This move isn’t just about transparency — it’s about giving developers the tools they need to prototype faster, integrate more deeply, and bring tailored IoT solutions to market with confidence and agility.
SenseCAP T1000-E: Ultra-Compact LoRaWAN Tracker, Now Fully Open
The T1000-E LoRaWAN Tracker is a card-sized, ultra-low-power LoRaWAN tracker that supports both indoor and outdoor location tracking. Designed for smart workforce management, asset tracking, and emergency alert scenarios, it combines Bluetooth and GNSS for precise, energy-efficient positioning.
What’s Open-Sourced:
Full firmware source code, allowing complete customization and functional expansion.
Why it Matters:
- Customize tracking behavior, payload formatting, and power profiles
- Rapidly prototype PoC projects with full control of device behavior
- Integrate directly into enterprise systems via open data protocols
SenseCAP M2 LoRaWAN Gateway: Built for Scale and Flexibility
This affordable and compact multi-platfom LoRaWAN gateway features the Semtech SX1302 baseband chip, offering stable and scalable LoRaWAN connectivity. It’s widely used in smart buildings, indoor positioning systems, and campus-wide sensor networks.
What’s Open-Sourced:
Full firmware source code, enabling developers to freely customize and expand features.
Why it Matters:
- Add new features or adapt the gateway to different frequency bands (with appropriate antenna and module adjustments)
- Modify network stack for secure, private LoRaWAN networks
- Integrate seamlessly into existing cloud or on-prem infrastructures
Designed for Developers, Built for Business
These open-source releases are especially beneficial for enterprise R&D professionals who need more than just off-the-shelf devices. Whether you’re building a campus-wide tracking system, experimenting with private LoRaWAN networks, or creating a niche IoT product, this is your chance to accelerate development without starting from scratch.
We understand that transparency, reliability, and long-term support are critical to your projects. That’s why we’re committed not only to open source, but also to providing ongoing hardware availability, documentation, and technical support for these products.
