What is LoRa gateway (application of LoRa)

LoRa gateway, also known as LoRa base station, is a gateway device that uses LoRa wireless modulation technology to achieve long-distance data transmission.

The product is designed with industrial 32-bit dedicated network processor and high-speed 4G wireless communication module, supports APN/VPDN wireless private network, LoRaWAN communication specification, GPS high-precision clock synchronization, and multi frequency multi channel concurrent processing capability. It can meet the complex and high-capacity networking needs of industrial sites, and is mainly used in smart street lamps, smart buildings, smart communities, smart fire protection and other fields.

1. What is the LoRa gateway?

LoRa gateway, also known as LoRa base station, is a gateway device that uses LoRa wireless modulation technology to achieve long-distance data transmission. The product is designed with industrial 32-bit dedicated network processor and high-speed 4G wireless communication module, supports APN/VPDN wireless private network, LoRaWAN communication specification, GPS high-precision clock synchronization, and multi frequency multi channel concurrent processing capability. It can meet the complex and high-capacity networking needs of industrial sites, and is mainly used in smart street lamps, smart buildings, smart communities, smart fire protection and other fields.

LoRa gateway is located at the core of LoRa star network, is the information bridge between terminal and server, and is a multi-channel transceiver. The LoRa gateway is sometimes called a LoRa base station or a LoRa concentrator. Although the definitions are different, they actually have the same meaning.

The LoRa gateway uses different spread spectrum factors, and the two groups of different spread spectrum factors are orthogonal, so in theory, several data signals with different spread spectrum factors can be modulated and demodulated in the same wireless channel.

The gateway and ECS are connected according to standard IP, and the terminal communicates with one or more gateways according to a single hop. All terminal communications are dual communications. In addition, the system has also upgraded the remote control and upgrade software.

Gateway Classification: The types and definitions of current gateways are different.

For example, according to different application scenarios, it can be divided into indoor gateway and outdoor gateway;

It can be divided into full duplex gateway and half duplex gateway according to communication mode;

According to the design standards, it can be divided into fully compatible LoRaWAN protocol gateways and non LoRaWAN protocol gateways.

(2) Gateway capacity:

Gateway capacity refers to the ability of the gateway to receive the number of data packets within a certain period of time. In theory, Sixin LoRa Gateway supports LoRaWAN's advantages of large capacity, flexible networking, low-cost large-scale project deployment, etc.

The LoRa network can access thousands of nodes, and the number can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the needs of the project. The network has good scalability. Low component cost, no communication fee, low overall operating cost, and obvious advantages of large projects.
