Description
What is the RAK10701-Plus LoRaWAN Field Tester?
The RAK10701-Plus LoRaWAN Field Tester is a tool for evaluating the deployment and coverage of a LoRaWAN network. It provides details on gateway, uplink and downlink RSSI/SNR, packet loss rates, and GPS location. The touch-screen LCD makes it easy to use.
It works with the WisGateOS 2 field test extension and supports network coverage testing in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is compatible with AWS IoT, The Things Network, Chirpstack, and integrated LNS. The rechargeable battery and USB Type-C charging make it suitable for field use. This tool simplifies LoRaWAN network testing.
Why you need the RAK10701-Plus LoRaWAN Field Tester
Are you deploying a LoRaWAN network? The RAK10701-Plus helps you verify coverage, identify weak points, and optimize signal performance directly on-site. With real-time signal data, integrated GPS, and no external applications required, it's the smart tool every installer or network engineer should have in their toolbox.
