Seeed Studio SenseCAP LoRaWAN® Gateway

Seeed Studio SenseCAP LoRaWAN® Gateway is based on the LoRaWAN v1.0.2 protocol, ideal for low-power, long-distance environmental data collection, and monitoring. The SenseCAP LoRaWAN gateway can be used for collecting data from different sensor nodes and transmitting the data to the SenseCAP Portal via 4G or Ethernet cable. Equipped with a high-performance processor and a telecom-operator-level LoRa chip, this gateway ensures stable and high performance in large-scale networks. The gateway is housed in a robust, waterproof IP66 enclosure, making it suitable for industrial applications in outdoor severe environments.  

About SenseCAP

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 LoRaWAN products include LoRaWAN gateways and sensor nodes. Based on LoRaWAN protocol, it can realize one-to-many, long-distance networking, and bilateral communication.

The SenseCAP sensor nodes are powered by a high-capacity battery that lasts up to 3 years (uploading data once per hour). These devices also support hot-swap, making maintenance and upgrades easy.
