'Long range' gateway is dedicated to the IoT
Incorporating SEMTECH LoRa technology, the Long Range IoT Station has been unveiled by KERLINK. The product is intended for M2M connectivity services and Internet of Things operators wishing to operate their network in their own right.
It greatly simplifies the implementation of the network and the operation of the end-points, reduces infrastructure costs (no repeaters) and makes compatibility with existing solutions/protocols (WMBUS, 6lowPan, etc.) possible. Finally, it enables the industrialist to concentrate its resources on its core business and on the application.
For example, installed on the relay antenna of a telecommunications operator, on the roof of a building or a water tower, it can establish bidirectional communications with several thousand items of intelligent equipment (sensors, meters, connected things) which are several kilometres away. To do this it uses techniques similar to that of cellular radio communication switchboards (frequency hop, automatic adaptation of the bandwidth with each object) to provide a connection that adapts to the propagation conditions and is very resistance to interference.
