The Dragino DLOS8N Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway (EU868) is an advanced open-source device designed to bridge LoRa wireless networks with IP networks through various connectivity options such as WiFi, Ethernet, and cellular networks. This gateway facilitates the transmission of data over long distances at low data rates, making it an ideal solution for extensive network coverage. It is equipped with a Semtech SX1302 LoRaWAN concentrator and supports both Semtech packet forwarder and LoRaWAN Station connections, ensuring full compatibility with the LoRaWAN protocol.
The gateway is pre-configured with standard LoRaWAN frequency bands suitable for different countries, and users have the flexibility to customize these frequencies to fit their specific network requirements. It can communicate directly with ABP LoRaWAN end nodes without the need for a LoRaWAN server, allowing seamless integration with existing IoT services. This feature is particularly beneficial for system integrators who wish to incorporate the gateway into their infrastructure without setting up their own LoRaWAN server or relying on third-party services.
The DLOS8N supports auto-provisioning for efficient mass deployment and long-term maintenance, with settings easily adjustable by system integrators. It operates on an embedded Linux system and can be managed via a web GUI or SSH over LAN or WiFi. The device includes features such as MQTTS support, cellular failover connection, LoRaWAN packet filtering, and a built-in GPS module for precise location and timing. Additionally, it is equipped with an external fiberglass antenna and offers remote monitoring capabilities.
The gateway is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, featuring an IP65 rating and lightning protection. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and operates efficiently within a wide temperature range. The DLOS8N is a robust solution for those seeking reliable and flexible connectivity options in outdoor settings.
