About SenseCAP
Among the first launch of Seeed industrial IoT (IIoT) product series, SenseCAP is focusing on wireless environmental sensing applications: smart agriculture, precision farming, and smart city, to name a few. It consists of hardware products (sensors, data-loggers & gateways, etc.), software services (SenseCAP portal, mobile App, open dashboard), and API for device & data management. SenseCAP supports different communication protocols, such as LoRa, 2G, 4G, NB-IoT, and more.
SenseCAP Gateway – LoRaWAN is based on LoRaWAN protocol, applicable for low-power consumption, long-range environmental data collection, and remote monitoring scenarios such as smart agriculture and smart city.
As the central device of SenseCAP LoRaWAN network, the gateway is used for collecting data from different SenseCAP Sensors and transmit the data to the cloud platform via cellular LTE or Ethernet. Equipped with a high-performance processor AM3358 and telecom-operator-level LoRa chip SX1301, this device ensures robustness and high performance in large-scale networks. Mutual authentication and encryption are established in the whole network to increase security.
The gateway is designed with an IP66 enclosure and supports an extended operating temperature range, making it suitable for industrial applications in both indoor and outdoor severe environments.
We offer different SenseCAP Gateway – LoRaWAN with different ISM bands:
SenseCAP Gateway – LoRawan EU 868 ( subset of 863 – 870 MHz)
SenseCAP Gateway – LoRawan US 915 ( subset of 902 – 928 MHz)
SenseCAP Gateway – LoRawan CN 470 ( subset of 470 – 510MHz)
(More frequencies are available soon)
