R1520LG, Robustel’s next-generation LoRaWAN gateway, excels in dense indoor environments with robust 4G/3G/2G and WiFi support. Integrated with Chirpstack LoRa network server, it efficiently manages traffic. Featuring 2 x Ethernet, 1 x RS232, and 1 x RS485, along with POE-PD, it’s ideal for smart buildings and industrial IoT, ensuring reliable connectivity.
R1520LG is Robustel’s new and unique LoRaWAN gateway, optimized for high volume in-building applications.The product has been designed to be very cost-effective and extremely versatile – providing a solution for all deployment scenarios including:
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.
RCMS is Robustel’s free router monitoring service that is fully compatible with the R1520LG. It allows customer to see a location overview of their routers quickly and simply on a map. Features such as data usage, signal strength, current network and much more can then be viewed on a per router basis. Over-the-air updates are supported for Firmware, router configuration and Apps serving as essential “insurance” if anything was not quite right during deployment.
