Low Power WAN is simply distinguished as Low Power WAN & NB-IoT There are 4 sessions for LoRa WAN End nodes deliver sensor data via LoRa Radio Frequency to LoRa Gateway, an RF adapter is needed due to the fact that some legacy sensors have no RF capability. The LoRa gateway will deliver all the LoRa RF data via LAN to the next stage LoRa network Server for data arrangement after receiving. Network Server, which is a core zone to concentrate all LoRa data, then dispatches data to the specified Application Server. The Application Server, based on different requirements, will handle data processing on the corresponding application server. For Security mechanism. It provides a specified 2 session key for both Network Server Session Key & Application Session key to ensure data security. Can EtherWAN simplify such complicated architecture up to 4 layers? The answer is an Absolute "YES". Edge 1, is an industrial LoRa Edge Node for LoRa data capture. It is able to integrate the data from remote sensors then deliver sensor data through a LoRa RF uplink. AiR PACE is an IOT Edge Computing gateway, It consolidates LoRa gateway, Lora Network Server and application server, making three in one Simplifying the network deployment, it supports a Maximum of 300 LoRa nodes which ensures efficient data collection. Let's recall how EtherWAN simplifies LoRa WAN architecture First, on the remote side, connect to EDGE 1 by using either RS-485 for Modbus over RTU protocol or analog input sensor. EDGE 1, will convert sensor data to LoRa signal and deliver to AiR PACE then to the data control center for more data processing. To build a great LoRa WAN solution use AiR PACE plus EDGE 1. AiR PACE offers 2 models for choice, pure 4G LTE cellular & LoRa plus 4G LTE backhaul wireless communication What is the difference between the 2 models? Check the antennas first, if there is one LoRa antenna & two 4G cellular antennae, and the label on the bottom shows CL, that means this is a 4G/LTE LoRa gateway. 3 key functions of AiR PACE combining LoRa Gateway, LoRa Network Server & Application Server in one AiR PACE. It can connect to up to 300 LoRa edge nodes. AiR PACE supports class A and class C EDGE 1 supports LoRa transmission and is IP65 rated. The device is dustproof and waterproof, making it a wonderful solution for outdoor environments. EDGE 1 supports power saving Class A and in time communication Class C The data transmission period can be set to from 30 seconds to 10 hours. Support 16 Megabytes capacity for data log. Let’s check the pin assignment, starting with 321 and 123 3 sets of Analog Input, suitable for 0-10 volt sensor signals or 4-20 mini ampere sensors 2 sets of digital input, support logical input and reaction function 1 digital output, for remote control purpose 1 RS-485 Serial port supports 3 sets of Modbus over RTU sensor. Simplified architecture meets long-distance communication needs with free communication & secured data transmission EtherWAN offers you the best wireless solution.
