ThinkNode Gateway usage description
一、Description
ThinkNode LoRaWAN Gateway is a standard LoRaWAN® gateway that supports connection to
different web servers. It supports global LoRaWAN® frequency programs from 865 MHz to 923
MHz and can be used for a wide range of LoRaWAN® applications such as smart buildings,
environmental monitoring systems, precision agriculture, and more. With its wide coverage and
strong signal output capability, it is an ideal gateway for building LoRaWAN® networks.
二、Feature
(1) Support for multiple LoRaWAN® network servers: compatible with multiple LNSS, such as AWS,
TTN, ChirpStack, etc., through the Packet Forwarder/BasicsTM Station mode.
(2) Built-in LoRaWAN network server: provides a fast and reliable solution for launching
LoRaWAN networks.
(3) Large range coverage and strong signal: LoRaWAN® coverage range of up to 10km and strong
signal, allowing users to send extremely long distance data at low data rates.
(4) Excellent and stable performance: using mature MT7628 hardware solutions and Semtech
SX1302 baseband remote chips. It supports cellular (optional), Wi-Fi and Ethernet Internet
connectivity.
