Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The F8926-GW-02 series gateway is a wireless communication gateway based on
the LoRaWAN standard protocol. It connects to various types of standard LoRaWAN
protocol application nodes, collects information, and transmits it to the cloud server
through wired Ethernet/4G/WIFI methods. This product utilizes a high-performance
industrial-grade 32-bit communication processor, supported by an embedded real-time
operating system as its software platform. It provides 1 Ethernet WAN (POE) port, 1 LAN
port, and 1 WIFI interface, supporting WIFI wireless configuration management and online
upgrades, with DC and POE+ power inputs.
The F8926-GW-02 gateway complies with the standard LoRaWAN protocol and
supports multiple modes, including the embedded Network Server mode (Network Server
deployed within the gateway), Basicstation mode (connecting to an external server
corresponding to the Basicstation protocol), and Semtech UDP GWMP Protocol mode
(connecting to an external NS server via GWMP UDP protocol).
This product has been widely applied in the IoT industry chain, including sectors such
as M2M, smart meters, disaster monitoring, smart sensing, smart photovoltaics, smart
grids, intelligent transportation, industrial automation, smart buildings, fire protection,
public safety, environmental protection, meteorology, digital healthcare, remote sensing
surveying, military, space exploration, agriculture, forestry, water management, coal
mining, petrochemicals, and more.
