sx1301 lora gateway

Nowadays, the most important SX1301 Digital Baseband Chip for LoRaWAN macro gateways are developed to offer breakthrough gateway capabilities in the ISM bands worldwide. The topnotch concentrator module is a different channel best-performance transmitter and receiver designed to simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading factors on random channels. LoRaWAN Starter Kit is aimed at developing the Internet of Things application by providing the components needed to build and connect a LoRa based IoT proof of concept. In a particular LoRaWAN kit, the pre-configured devices and connectors help speed up the development of use cases including smart city, building, agriculture, industrial, utility and many others.

This branded chip allows a connection between a central wireless data concentrator and a massive amount of wireless end-points spread over a very wide range of distances. Moreover, the device quality a true antenna diversity or simultaneous dual-band operation and programmable parallel demodulation paths. It is a huge digital signal processing engine specifically designed to offer breakthrough gateway capabilities in the ISM bands worldwide. The RAK2245 Boards is a complete and cost-efficient LoRa gateway solution based on Semtech SX1301 to help utilize the whole LoRa system development.

RAK2245 Raspberry Pi LoRa Concentrator module based on SX1301

SX1301 is a module with a Board form factor that can be plugged into IoT edition Boards as a complete RF front end of LoRa gateway. It can support eight channels and are available in multiple variants so it can be used for international standard bands. With the top class value and function for connectivity to address a variety of applications; like Smart Grid, Intelligent Farm and other IoT enterprise applications. Combined with the Board's IoT edition, which enables easy integration into an application board and ideal for the manufacturing of small series.

RAK2245 Pi is a module with a Raspberry Pi form factor. It’s packed into Raspberry PI such as Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ as a complete RF front end of LoRa gateway. It connects with eight channels and is available for LoRaWAN global frequency bands. The board is the smallest LoRaWAN gateway concentrator which integrates GPS Module and heat sink. The board can provide low data rate LoRa radio links at ultra-fast speed. However, if you want to build your own LoRa network, there are 3 things that you should prepare to get started: a Gateway, a local server and at least one Node where you can check all your devices.

The LoRaWAN kit provides all the necessary elements you need: Raspberry Pi 3, a Seeeduino LoRaWAN with GPS and a gateway and local server that allows you to collect and transfer data among all your LoRa nodes. It’s designed to provide GPS data over the interface. This is the case it is connected to another board that utilizes the interface, there will be limitations as far as GPS data goes. When you hold up LoRa concentrator with cellular connectivity on the Raspberry Pi, RAKwireless also designed a product that utilized a modified concentrator that uses the i2C bus to send GPS data.
