Outdoor Gateway Mesh with 2.4G Backhaul

Product Summary

Used for outdoor network with 2.4G LoRa Backhaul for gateway-to-gateway communication.

Editorial narrative

Used for outdoor network with 2.4G LoRa Backhaul for gateway-to-gateway communication. The Gateway Mesh is an open-source protocol co-developed by ChirpStack and RAKwireless. It enables a multi-hop LoRaWAN mesh network, significantly extending coverage beyond standard single-hop gateways. Designed for outdoor scenarios, this solution uses 2.4G LoRa for gateway-to-gateway communication. Designed to handle higher bandwidth requirements, the 2.4G Relay is ideal for applications where backhaul data capacity is crucial. This relay option is perfect for environments like smart buildings, urban infrastructure, and complex sensor networks where the focus is on increased data throughput rather than maximum range. The 2.4G band offers more capacity for data-intensive applications, making it a reliable choice for high-traffic scenarios. Please select a LoRaWAN region according to this table: 800 MHz EU868/IN865/RU864 900 MHz US915/AU915/KR920/AS923 Solution characteristics (for 2.4 GHz relay) Devices per network Typically 2000 sensors, depending on topology and messages/day Distance between gateways Between 1 and 2 km, depending on locations End-device radio channels 8 RX + 1 TX (subGhz) Relay radio channels 3 RX + 1 TX (2.4 GHz) Relay configuration Selectable SF, BW and TX power Channel hopping Maximum hops 8, recommended 3-4 Network monitoring Heartbeat messages Info page on LNS Network flooding management Per-gateway message ID cache Per-gateway max hop count Network security Standard LoRaWAN security for messages to/from end-devices Shared key for MIC checking for messages between gateways Gateway power Power adapter Battery Plus compatible (battery+solar) Gateway installation Pole mount The solution includes: One or more RAK7229 gateways as relay gateways One RAK7229C (with LTE) gateway as border gateway You can purchase multiple relay gateways depending on the range you plan to cover for testing and deployment. Reference: All gateways use the latest SX1303 LoRa core, pro
