1 Product Introduction
SenseCAP is an industrial wireless sensor network that integrates easy-to-deploy hardware and data API
services, enabling low-power, long-distance environmental data collection. SenseCAP includes several
versions, such as LoRaWAN, LoRaPP, etc.
SenseCAP LoRaWAN version products include LoRaWAN Gateways and Sensor Nodes. Based on the
LoRaWAN protocol, it can realize one-to-many, long-distance networking and bilateral communication.
The LoRaWAN Gateway supports Ethernet and 4G. The Sensor Node is powered by a high-capacity
battery that lasts up to 3 years (if uploading data once every hour). It also supports hot-swap, making it
easy for maintenance and upgrading.
Main Features:
⚫Gateway: High-performance Cortex A8 1GHz processor
⚫Gateway uses multiple methods to connect to the Internet: 4G and Ethernet
⚫Gateway supports third-party TTN account and server
⚫Sensors support LoRaWAN v1.0.2 protocol and are suitable for standard LoRaWAN Gateway
⚫Super long-distance communication: 10km in the line-of-sight scenario, 2km in the urban scenario
⚫Industrial protection rating IP66-rated enclosure, suitable for the outdoor environment at -40℃~70℃
⚫Easy-to-deploy, enabling people without engineering background to install the devices quickly
