The R1520LG is Robustel’s innovative LoRaWAN gateway, specifically engineered for high-volume in-building applications. Combining cost-effectiveness with exceptional versatility, this gateway addresses a wide range of deployment scenarios, including:

  1. External LoRa Network Server (LNS): Choose from multiple packet forwarders such as UDP, Basic Station, or Loriot for tailored connectivity solutions.
  2. Internal LoRa Network Server (LNS): Utilize ChirpStack for comprehensive customer control over your network.
  3. Enhanced Internal LNS: Our unique “E2C ChirpStack”integration, a pioneering feature, offers seamless connectivity options.
  4. Direct Cloud Integration: The E2C ChirpStack software connector enables LoRa sensors to connect directly to AWS and Azure cloud environments, simplifying data management.
  5. Dual Functionality: E2C ChirpStack can be paired with E2C Modbus within the R1520LG, allowing easy data aggregation from both wired and wireless sensors into the cloud.

 

Watch this video to see how R1520LG can act as a complete hosting environment (Debian Linux) – for IoT applications – especially those connecting to LoRa and Modbus sensors.
