RAK831 LoRa/LoRaWan Gateway Module Developer Kit with Antenna

Description

What is RAK831 LoRa Gateway Module? RAK831 is an RF front end of a LoRa gateway. It is able to receive on different frequency channels at the same time and is able to demodulate the LoRa signal without knowledge of the used spreading factor of the sending node. This kit contains the RAK831, GPS Antenna, Converter Board, and a LoRa Antenna. With the compact design, this is an ideal module product to help you realise the whole LoRa system development. With the USB-SPI converter module FT2232, you can quickly develop the software on your PC. Also, you can integrate the concentrator module in your production products to realise the LoRa gateway function. This is an economical way to address for a huge variety of applications like smart grids, intelligent farming, and other Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The RAK831 needs a host system like Raspberry Pi or WasAP (OpenWRT based) or WisCam for proper operation. the host processor can be a PC or MCU that will connected to RAK831 via USB or SPI. Kit Includes RAKwireless RAK831 Small Plastic LoRa Antenna Frequency Bands 433 Frequency Band: 433MHz - 435MHz 470 Frequency Band: 465MHz - 475MHz 868 Frequency Band: 865MHz - 872MHz 915 Frequency Band: 915MHz - 928MHz Why do we need LoRa gateways? Public utilities (gas and other instruments, municipal pipelines, street lamps, landfills), large areas of livestock and agricultural irrigation, extensive layout and harsh weather, hydrology, mountain data collection, mines and remote outdoor operations; they suffer from… Insufficient signal coverage - low strength and cannot guarantee data stability. Power consumption - It is difficult to have a sustainable power supply in harsh environments. Low economic efficiency - Low utilization rate, occupation of network resources, high cost. LPWAN Solution LPWAn is a very good solution to the above problems
