Evaluation Kit for LoRa(R) Technology - 800
Manufactured By:Microchip

Part Number:DV164140-1
The LoRa® Network Evaluation Kit makes it easy for customers to test LoRa technology, range and data rate. The full-featured gateway board includes an LCD screen, SD Card for Config Data, Ethernet connection, 868 MHz antenna, and full-band capture radios. The Gateway evaluation kit also includes two RN2483 Mote boards.
The gateway uses a local version of the LoRaWAN network server running under Windows so it does not need an external network connection. This creates a self-contained demo network that makes testing the LoRa network quick and easy.
The LoRa® Gateway is a demonstration board intended to be used along with the development of applications and products which utilize one of the LoRa Technology Transceiver RN modules. The Microchip LoRa Gateway provides communication with the Microchip supported example LoRa network and application server. Uplink packets issued according to the LoRa WAN specification are captured and forwarded by Microchip’s Gateway. Microchip supplies multiple Gateway Radio boards, each with its own designated frequency band of operations to support the available Microchip RN modules. Communication with the specified server is achieved through TCP/IP protocol as supported by the demonstration board hardware.
