LoRaWAN Indoor Gateway 868MHz SIoT Server

The DFRobot LoRaWAN Indoor Gateway (EU 868 MHz) is a complete network solution for building private, wireless IoT networks without reliance on cloud services or external server providers. The core chip is the Semtech SX1302 8-channel LoRa baseband processor, enabling stable communication with numerous LoRaWAN end nodes with low latency. The gateway integrates a local SIoT server based on MQTT and Node-RED for graphical flow programming, allowing sensor data to be processed directly without its own server infrastructure.

Recommended accessories:

LoRaWAN IoT Control Terminal 868 MHz

Features:

Semtech SX1302 8-channel LoRa baseband chip provides stable multi-channel communication with numerous end nodes with low latency and high throughput rate
Integrated SIoT MQTT server enables direct data access without external server infrastructure – as easy as reading a serial interface
Pre-installed Node-RED allows graphical flow programming for automation tasks directly in the browser without additional software installation
Automatic node registration via scan method simplifies the commissioning of new DFRobot devices to the effort of a Wi-Fi connection
Dual connectivity via 100 Mbps Ethernet and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi enables flexible use in different network environments
Cloud connection to TTN, LORIOT, and AWS IoT Core via Packet Forwarder and Basic Station for operation in public LoRaWAN networks

Application examples:

Smart garden irrigation with soil moisture sensors at multiple locations, automatic control via Node-RED and local data storage without cloud dependence
Environmental monitoring in agricultural operations with distributed weather stations and soil analysis sensors up to 4 km range
Building automation with temperature, CO2, and motion nodes as well as visualization in the integrated SIoT dashboard
Industrial IoT for monitoring machine and process data in halls or outdoor areas without cable installation
Educational and development environment for LoRaWAN projects thanks to integrated tutorials and prepared libraries for Arduino and MicroPython
