Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
IOT-S500 series is a sensor mainly used for outdoor environment through
wireless LoRa network. IOT-S500 device is battery powered and designed for
multiple mounting ways. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and
can easily be configured by a smartphone or a PC software.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN® protocol.
LoRaWAN® enables encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while
consuming very little power. The user can obtain sensor data and view the
trend of data change through Cloud or through the user’s own Network Server.
1 .2 Features
- Up to 11km communication range
- Easy configuration via NFC
- Standard LoRaWAN® support
- Low power consumption with 19000mAh replaceable battery
Hardware Introduction
