Difference between LoRaWAN Gateways LG1301-SE, LG1301-PF and LoRaWAN1301

Today, NiceRF will introduce to you our three LoRaWAN Gateway products, LG1301-SE, LG1301-PF, and LoRaWAN1301, and what is the difference between them.

The following is a detailed introduction to our three LoRaWAN Gateway products: LG1301-SE, LG1301-PF, and LoRaWAN1301:

LoRaWAN Gateway LG1301-SE

LG1301-SE is a LoRaWAN Gateway. It only applies to LoRaWAN node LN610 and integrates the standard LoRaWAN Class C communication protocol V1.0.

When LG1301-SE receives LN610 data, LG1301-SE will output RF data and LN610 device address to the serial interface. When the serial data with the device address of the target LN610 is input to the LG1301-SE, it sends the serial data to the target LN610.

All wireless communications comply with the LoRaWAN protocol. You can easily build a LoRaWAN network without understanding the working principle of LoRaWAN.

LoRaWAN Gateway LG1301-PF

LG1301-PF is a LoRaWAN Gateway. It can be used with any LoRaWAN node that conforms to the standard LoRaWAN protocol V1.0.

The gateway is based on the Linux platform and is mainly composed of a concentrator, GPS module, WIFI and Ethernet. The GPS module sends NMEA frames containing time and geographic coordinate data to the host. The GPS module also outputs a pulse to sx1301 every second.

The gateway receives RF data from the node and sends it to the server. It also receives data from the server and transmits it to the node. The gateway is connected to the server via Ethernet or WiFi.

LoRaWAN Gateway Module LoRaWAN1301

LoRaWan1301 is a front-end LoRaWan gateway module launched by NiceRF. Its small size and SPI interface are the main characteristics. The module adopts SX1301, SX1255 / SX1257 chip scheme and is designed based on Semtech official standard. Built in TCXO crystal oscillator supports various frequency bands of 433 / 470 / 868 / 915MHz, and other specific frequencies can also be customized.
