RAK7590: Professional Field Tester for LoRaWAN® with Bidirectional Analysis ## What is the RAK7590 LoRaWAN Field Tester? The **Field Tester Pad** is a professional device for LoRaWAN® network field testing that measures both uplink and downlink performance directly on-site, without the need for a laptop or backend access. It is used for installation validation, commissioning, acceptance testing, and troubleshooting LoRaWAN networks. Engineers use it to acquire **RSSI, SNR, packet loss, data rate, and response times while moving around the site**, then convert these measurements into map-based coverage visualizations or indoor scatter charts for quick interpretation. Standardized test sessions create repeatable evidence that can be exported in CSV or PDF format for project handover and audit processes. With offline maps, labeling, and integrated charts on the device, it supports rigorous field workflows that reduce rework and help teams consistently document network health across different locations. ### Why you need the RAK7590 LoRaWAN Field Tester Fieldwork often fails when results are difficult to reproduce or too slow to interpret on-site, especially when a LoRaWAN signal tester is not available at the test point. The Field Tester Pad helps teams make confident coverage decisions at the installation point, reduce repeat visits, and provide documentation that customers can quickly approve. Why it's useful: - **Fewer repeat visits:** identify weak areas early and correct placement before teams leave the site. - **Clear acceptance evidence:** provide consistent results that customers can review and approve. - **Faster troubleshooting:** pinpoint probable coverage or interference issues without extensive information exchange. The Field Tester Pad serves as a LoRaWAN network test tool for on-site commissioning, acceptance, and troubleshooting. ### Key features of the RAK7590 LoRaWAN Field Tester - Complete bidirectional LoRaWAN analysis (uplink + downlink) - On-device visualization for faster field decisions - Standardized 50-packet test sessions for repeatable results - Indoor + outdoor mapping with offline capabilities - Export-ready reporting, labeling, and documentation - Compatible with major LoRaWAN® network stacks - Hardware built for field use ### Standardized Test Sessions for Repeatable Evidence Field testing fails when results depend on technician habits or a "single lucky reading." As a professional LoRaWAN tester, the Field Tester Pad uses **standardized test sessions** (e.g., 50 packets in approximately 5 minutes) to produce **repeatable and comparable evidence** at each test point. - **Measure variance, not snapshots:** capture packet loss and RSSI/SNR behavior over time. - **Compare before/after changes:** validate gateway placement, antenna adjustments, ADR, and optimization using the same method. - **Provide acceptance-ready evidence:** export consistent results for job handover, approval, and audits using a LoRaWAN acceptance test device. ### Use Case #1 A system integrator observed **12% packet loss** during preliminary checks between corridors. Using **50-packet sessions** and an indoor **RSSI/SNR scatter chart**, they adjusted gateway placement and ADR settings. Results improved to **2% loss**, repeatable over three sessions. The exported PDF supported job handover; the customer noted: **"Acceptance was faster because the evidence matched our site survey."** ### Use Case #2 During commissioning, a smart-city team encountered **ACK errors** (acknowledgment of receipt) and inconsistent downlink times at intersections. The Field Tester Pad performed **uplink + downlink analysis** and recorded the last downlink events, generating georeferenced outputs as a device for creating LoRaWAN coverage heatmaps. After antenna reorientation and minor repositioning, downlink success rose from **86% to 98%** on identical 50-packet tests. Production notes showed stable results at four points; the customer stated: **"Confirmed messages became reliable after adjustments."** ### Comparison Table: Field Tester Pad vs Other Field Tester Solutions | **Device** | **Field Tester Pad (RAK7590)** | **Field Tester Plus (RAK10701-Plus)** | |---|---|---| | **Uplink Test** | Yes | Yes | | **Downlink Test** | Yes (unique device) | No | | **Real-time Charts** | Yes | Yes | | **Heatmap** | Yes | No | | **GPS Tagging** | Yes | Yes (GNSS) | | **Offline Map Support** | Yes | Limited | | **Battery Life** | 11+ hours | 8 hours | | **Screen Size** | 7" Touchscreen | Small LCD | | **For whom?** | Professional Engineers | Integrators | ### Package Contents - pc.
