Make a LoRa Network

This RV-M50 LoRa radio modem can be used to make a long range wireless network. The Cigorn gateway can be used for a long range wireless router on a LoRa network.

This M50 radio can cover so many miles, so the LoRa network can be all wireless, or use the M22 enclosure to connect a LoRa network to you network or to the IoT.
This RV-M50 is a miniature LoRa module you can put inside your product, or use it in our Tech Series enclosure. The 20-pin Universal Wireless OEM Radio Connector (UWORC)  is the hardware interface.
And if you use this RV-M50 with the UWORC connector, then your system can also easily use UHF or VHF, because they all use the same Universal Wireless interface.
AN205(LoRa Technolgy)  (pdf)   application note describes the LoRa protocol information. LoRa is high performance long-range radio communication technology.

RV-M50 Daisy Radio  (License Free)

Raveon’s RV-M50 Daisy Radios are our smallest solution daisy chaining all your large scale operations using the license-free ISM band radio channels. This LoRa radio is perfect for tracking any number of items over as many locations as you can imagine, making it perfect for you to connect to the internet of things. The Daisy radio is our smallest model yet, making it perfect for daisy chaining your system together across any and all locations. It also integrates flawlessly with your current Raveon M7, or M8 systems, so using it to improve your current solutions or expand operations is quick and easy.

Daisy Radio modules can be incorporated into your products, giving them miles of wireless communication capability.
The M50 Daisy Radio modules use the same Universal Wireless OEM Radio Connector  AN224(UWORC).pdf  so you can use Daisy Radio modems or our M8, or M6, radios into your products in the same way. Just plug in the radio you actually want to use.

The Daisy Radio modules are available in our M22 Tech Series enclosures.  The M22 enclosures have a myriad of IO options and features.

The RV-M5 Daisy Radios utilize LoRa communication technology.  The work for data communications or GPS tracking.  Raveon’s Pier-to-Pier mode uses the LoRa protocol to directly communicate between radio to radio, with no need for a “Base Station”.  Simple pier-to-pier data communications is perfect for  daisy-chaining your network. Daisy Radios can pass along data over many miles, with very low power consumption, low RF power, and small antennas.  An their low cost high performance help make you systems more economical.

Daisy Tech Series

The License Free ISM band Daisy Modems are used within the  M22 Tech Series enclosure. The Tech Series is designed to be universal for use with any of our modems, and works especially well with the LoRa radio daisy chain systems. The Tech Series unique design allows for interchangeable front I/O panels, so you can connect to your system in a myriad of differing ways. One other new feature is our more rugged power connector, designed to stay connected through even more extreme conditions. IO options are RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, USB, GPIO, and Flexible IO.

General Purpose Tracker using LoRa

Raveon utilizes our ISM band Daisy Radio in a miniature enclosure to create a general purpose tracker.

The RV-V50 Miniature Tracker is a small, very low-power GPS/GLONASS transponder for use in the license-free ISM or cellular bands. Having the longest communication range in its class, it can locate and monitor assets such as automobiles, trucks, racers, rental equipment and more. Its built-in rechargeable battery has extremely long battery life.

 

 

Skyline HUB to Daisy Chain your Network

The Skyline Wireless Hub can connect thousands of Daisy Nodes to your network. The RV-M50 or RV-M6 can connect into the HUB.

This will link to those low-cost miniature Daisy Radios to your network. Connect to the Skyline Wireless Hub using an Ethernet connection, or another radio.

The Skyline Wireless Hub has 2 base radios in it: ONE to connect to many Daisy Radios. And ANOTHER that can talk 10-50 miles away to another base radio connected to your network.
So your utility network can connect to the HUB with Ethernet locally, or a long range way have many HUBs around the cities, to wirelessly link to your network and Daisy Chain many thousands of remote sensors/meters.
