Arduino Pro Gateway LoRa Connectivity Kit AKX00016

Description

Arduino Pro Gateway LoRa ® Connectivity Kit (AKX00016) provides Long Range (LoRa) connectivity using ultra-long range and high interference immunity on the sub-GHz 868MHz (Europe) radio frequency band. The Pro Gateway offers up to 8 LoRa Channels, which allows it to receive up to 8 LoRa packets simultaneously. Combined with the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 IoT Node, it makes an ideal solution for smart agriculture, smart cities, building automation, and many other remote monitoring applications requiring long range, low power wireless connectivity. The Pro Gateway LoRa Connectivity Kit is designed around the Semtech SX1301 Digital Baseband Chip, which enables robust connection between the Gateway and a massive amount of wireless end-points spread over a very wide range of distances. By supporting advanced features like Listen Before Talk (LBT), it allows users to transmit at higher power on the first free channel, achieving longer ranges than conventional gateways for LoRa. Installation, provisioning, and remote management of the Gateway are made incredibly simple through the Arduino Create Platform.
