– Number of Channels: 8 LoRa Channels
– Operating Frequency: 868MHz (EU) / 915MHz (US)
– Frequency Range: 860MHz to 1020MHz
– Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
– RF Output Power: Up to +27dBm
– Sensitivity: Up to -137dBm
– Interfaces for the LoRa Module: mPCIe (SPI / I2C / UART / GPIOs) :
– Dimensions: 71x40x1mm
– Operating Voltage: +5V
– Additional Features:
– Listen Before Talk (LBT) Capability (for improved transmission power management),
– On-board uFL antenna connector
– FPGA support for LoRa Spectral Scan
“The Arduino gateway kit provides LoRa (Long Range) connectivity using ultra-long range and high interference immunity on the 868 MHz radio bands. The gateway offers up to 8 LoRa Channels in the 868Mhz frequency allowing it to receive up to 8 LoRa packets simultaneously making it the ideal device to use in LoRaWAN gateways applications. It is designed around the SX1301 from Semtech, which enables robust connection between the gateway and a massive amount of wireless end-points spread over a very wide range of distances.”
