Field Tester for LoRaWAN®

When deploying LoRaWAN Gateways, it is crucial to know whether they are far enough away from each other and if the area that should be covered by the gateways is in range at any location. It is important to locate the dead spots in your LoRaWAN network coverage.

When deploying LoRaWAN sensor nodes, it is crucial to know whether all sensor nodes are in the range of a gateway or hotspot.

With a LoRaWAN Field Tester , it is now easy to investigate whether the required area of sensor nodes is covered by gateways or if there are blind spots in which the sensor data cannot reach any gateway.

The RAK10701 Field Tester comes in two variants. The RAK10701-P has two antennas, one 2.3 dBi and one 2.8 dBi and a hard case. The RAK10701-L comes only with one 2.3 dBi antenna and no hard case.

This version is compatible with all LoRaWAN networks. For Helium please have a look into our Plug&Play version which is pre-registered on the Helium network and comes with free data credits.

As our customers are starting mass production and deploying their products globally, we want to clarify that our module hardware supports multiple LoRaWAN regions. As there is no difference in the hardware, we optimized the variants in our store to make it easier to select the correct frequency.

Please select a LoRaWAN region according to this table:
