3 How to work
3.1 Performance
Alarm will be activated from sleep mode and send out alarm signal once pressed. The
device can also check power status and temperature regularly by itself. When found it
under abnormal condition, the device will send out the information to the platform.

3.3 Alarm system
This alarm system contains of AN-301 SOS button, LoRa gateway, cloud platform
and application platform.
AN-301 SOS button
When there is no abnormality in the surrounding environment and no one triggers the
alarm, the current state of the alarm will be sent to the platform regularly, such as
battery voltage. When someone presses the manual alarm button to trigger the alarm,
the device will immediately report the alarm information to the monitoring platform
in time. When the information transmission is blocked due to network failure, the
alarm will repeat the attempt through its own algorithm until the network returns to
normal and the alarm information is successfully sent to the monitoring platform with
abnormal network information. After successfully sending the alarm information, the
alarm will periodically report the alarm information again, until receiving the alarm
cancellation command issued from the monitoring platform.
LoRa gateway
The gateway receives data from AN-301 SOS button base on LoRa technology. It
sends data to cloud platform via Ethernet or cellular mobile network.

Cloud platform
As to LoRa network server, we can provide our LoRaWAN middleware platform,
customers can deploy the middleware locally on their server or on Cloud, and the data
is in their hands, we'll provide them with API interface and MQTT message
subscription, and if they’ve already had their own application platform and want to
get LoRa data, they can get LoRa data by MQTT message subscribing with our
LoRaWAN middleware platform; If they haven’t had their own application platform,
they can develop their own based on our LoRaWAN middleware.
