A 16-channel gateway can support thousands of devices simultaneously, depending on the data rate and network traffic.
The range depends on the environment: In urban areas approx. 3-5 km, in rural areas up to 15 km.
Yes, the frequencies can be manually adjusted in the channel plan to meet the specific requirements of the network.
By using two LoRa modems, each modem can be configured separately. This means that different LNS can also be entered.
The standard channels in Europe are in the 868 MHz range: 868.1, 868.3 and 868.5 MHz, supplemented by additional optional channels.
Configuration is carried out via the gateway’s web interface or SSH. Frequencies, network server details, APN and other parameters must be set there.
A 16-channel gateway can monitor twice as many frequencies simultaneously as an 8-channel gateway, which increases network coverage and efficiency.
That depends on the region. In Europe, the 868 MHz band is common, while the 915 MHz band is used in the USA.
More channels enable a higher data rate, minimise collisions and improve network performance, especially in densely populated areas with many IoT devices.
