Product description
Since E-Sun Electronics Limited launched the Panther X1 Hotspot, the product has been a big success and welcomed by most users for its exclusive advantages such as abundant storage, full-duplex LoRa mode, multi-hotspot management configuration, high-speed synchronization, and advanced customization. As E-Sun Electronics Limited focuses on building a series of high-quality products in the Internet of Things field in the future, the team has been committed to continuously advancing the research, development, and iteration of Panther X series products. Following the successful launch of Panther X1, we completed the research and development of Panther X2 Hotspot and launched it to the public. Panther X2 has a 4-core high-performance processor, ultra- low power consumption, and ultra-long-distance IoT hotspot gateway. In addition, as an information converter for the LoRa communication protocol, Panther X2 acts as a bridge between network servers and end nodes. Panther X2, featuring a signal coverage of around 10-20 km, runs at an ultralow- power (5W) and can connect to over 2,000 LoRaWAN end nodes within itsrange. It is susceptible, safe, reliable, and easy to interact with and can be used for environmental monitoring, asset tracking, smart agriculture, and other long- range ultra-low-power IoT applications. Panther X2 is compatible with the Helium LongFi network and can be used as a hotspot to obtain Helium digital token, HNT. In addition, the device supports block synchronization and remote control. Users can use the official Helium application to complete the Panther X2 in one minute quickly.
Architecture
Panther X2 sends and receives LoRa data, modulates/demodulates signals,
processes LoRa data and higher-level protocol-related tasks, and eventually
transmits data to the server via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Solution
LongFiTM Technology Helium LongFi is a technical architecture that combines
advanced wireless technology LoRaWAN and Helium blockchain. LongFi is
optimized for the coverage and battery life of IoT devices.
Proof of Coverage (PoC)
The Panther X2 Hotspot obtains the digital token HNT when the device is connected to the Helium mainnet and is used to verify the wireless coverage provided by the peer. Using a proof of coverage mechanism, Panther X2 Hotspots can obtain more HNT when Panther X2 Hotspots are within the coverage range of other Panther X2 Hotspots. The coverage depends on the use environment: l Open area: 10 kilometers or more. l Built-up areas: 1~10 kilometers. A single hotspot obtains fewer HNT because it can only issue challenges through the Internet and not participate in the proof of coverage mechanism.
About LoRa
LoRa is an innovative radio frequency physical layer modulation technology that provides long-range wireless connectivity, excellent power supply efficiency, extremely high receiver sensitivity, full spread spectrum, and secure, encrypted transmission. It is operated on free industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio bands with 863-870 MHz frequency spectrum and its subsets reserved for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, and 902-928 MHz for the Americas and Asia-Pacific countries/regions. The ISM band primarily used in China is 470-510MHz.
About LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN is a Media Access Control (MAC) layer protocol developed by the LoRa Alliance, serving as a supplement to the physical layer implementation of LoRa. It draws support from an established ecosystem of LoRaWANcompatible devices, which can be obtained from multiple suppliers and is accredited by the LoRa Alliance for Device Interoperability. LoRaWAN defines the network’s communication protocol and system architecture, while the LoRa physical layer enables the long-range communication link. As a result, the protocol and network architecture have the most influence in determining the battery lifetime of a node, the network capacity, the quality of service, the security, and the variety of applications served by the network.
