Arduino enthusiasts patiently waiting for the arrival of the Arduino PRO Gateway for LoRa will be pleased to know that the Arduino Pro Gateway for LoRa (868 MHz , EU version) is now available to preorder priced at €350. The LoRa gateway can be used globally and enables multiple channel management. By supporting advanced features like Listen Before Talk (LBT),
The Arduino PRO Gateway allows users to transmit at higher power on the first free channel, achieving longer ranges than conventional gateways for LoRa. Technical specifications of the PRO Gateway for LoRa include :
– Chipset: Semtech SX1301
– Modulation: LoRa Spread Spectrum, FSK, GFSK 868MHz (EU) / 915MHz (US)
– 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.”
