Indoor Coverage and Deployment Expectations
Indoor LoRaWAN performance depends on building layout, wall materials, antenna placement, gateway location, interference, and sensor distribution. For best results, place WisGate Edge Lite 2 in a central and elevated indoor location with minimal obstruction around the LoRa antenna.
Before final installation, test sensor communication across key rooms, floors, or facility zones and adjust gateway placement as needed. Use Field Tester Solutions to confirm coverage and adjust gateway placement before final mounting.
Deployment tips:
- Place the gateway away from metal cabinets, dense walls, and enclosed utility boxes when possible.
- Test sensor communication before final mounting.
- Use PoE when Ethernet and power are available from the same network path.
- Use LTE backhaul when Ethernet or WiFi is unavailable or unreliable.
- Use the external LTE antenna option for weak-signal areas.
- Use WisDM to configure, monitor, and manage deployed gateways remotely.
- Consider a rugged RAK gateway if the site needs outdoor installation or IP67 protection.
