EverTag Station (nRF54)¶
| Product Family | EverTag Station |
| MCU Module | Panasonic PAN611 (nRF54L15) |
| Power | Wall-powered (5V from Power Base Module) |
| Application | Wirepas Mesh anchor, WiFi gateway, NFC configuration |
| PCB Article Range | 232200--232211 |
Overview¶
The EverTag Station is a modular wall-powered Wirepas anchor and gateway platform designed for EU and US markets. The system is architected around strict separation between:
- AC Safety Domain -- Power Base Module (isolated AC-DC, Class 2 output)
- Class 2 Low-Voltage Domain -- Connectivity Module (nRF54 + optional WiFi/battery/LTE)
The platform supports Wirepas anchor functionality, optional WiFi gateway, optional LiFePO4 battery backup, and is prepared for future LTE modem extension and PIR/Radar sensing.
Design Philosophy¶
- Strict AC/LV separation -- only Power Base under safety listing, allowing unlimited telematics SKU expansion without new safety certification
- Modular certification -- pre-certified radio modules (PAN611, ESP32-C5) reduce regulatory risk
- Long product lifetime -- components selected for >10 year availability
- Low BOM risk -- minimum 2 global distributors per component, no EOL-risk families
- Scalable manufacturing -- EMS manufacturing in Asia (primary) and Europe (secondary)
Enclosure¶
Shared Enclosure
The enclosure (232506) is shared across all connectivity module variants. The PCB is not centered inside the enclosure. LED and button placement on the PCB must account for the off-center position to align with the enclosure window and access points.

Firmware¶
The Station family uses two firmware builds:
| Build | Boards | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Tag/Anchor | 232200, 232201 | Wirepas anchor, NFC config (shared with EverTag Tag nRF54) |
| Gateway | 232202, 232203, 232204 | Wirepas gateway + ESP32 WiFi control |
Board variant is detected at runtime via resistor divider on ADC pin P1.07. See Firmware Compatibility for the full matrix.
