The Meizo RD58 series Dual SIM 4G Ethernet wireless router is designed to offer a backup 3G/4G network when the primary network fails. The router is using Broadcom chipset, integrated with WAN, LAN, SIM, VPN, VRRP, WiFi, and Serial port services, product line supporting the following radio access technologies: LTE, HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, CDMA2000, GPRS. By owning automatic connection monitoring and heartbeat detection, make sure the router to be always online.
The router is using Industrial Grade equipment design standards, passed CE and EMC test, stable and reliable. External antenna connectors make it possible to attach desired antennas and to easily find the best signal location. Multiple encryption protocols as L2TP, IPSec, PPTP and GRE are owned, making it ideal solution for applications in which high data bandwidth and strong stability is required.

LoRa wireless tutorial
LoRa technology is used as wide area network wireless technology. There are different frequency bands defined in US (902 to 928 MHz), EU (863 to 870 MHz) , China (779 to 787 MHz) and other regions to be used in LoRa wireless technology based network. It is low power, long range and low data rate based technology developed with initiative by Samtech.
LoRa network consists of gateways, network servers and end devices. The network topology is star of stars. End devices are also known as motes and gateways are known as base stations or concentrators in LoRa network system.
End devices and Gateways are connected wirelessly using ISM bands specified with single hop. Gateways and network servers are connected using IP backhaul connections.
The figure-1 depicts LoRa network architecture. Customer information database is housed in servers. Communication between end devices and gateways are carried at different channels and different data rates. LoRa supports adaptive data rate from 0.3 Kbps to 50 Kbps.
LoRa Frame Structure
The transmission from end device to gateway is referred as "uplink" and transmission from gateway to end device is referred as "downlink". There are different classes supported in LoRaWAN network viz Class A, Class B and Class C.
As shown in figure LoRa frame consists of uplink part and downlink part. In Class-A, LoRa frame has one uplink slot followed by two downlink slots. The frame is as per TDD topology. Refer LoRaWAN classes for other LoRa classes.
LoRa Protocol Stack
The figure-2 depicts LoRa protocol stack consisting of Application layer, MAC layer, PHY layer and RF layer.
• Data from application layer and MAC commands required to establish connection between End device and gateway are carried as MAC payload.
• MAC layer constructs the MAC frame using MAC payload.
• PHY layer uses MAC frame as PHY payload and constructs the PHY frame after inserting Preamble, PHY header, PHY header CRC and entire frame CRC.
• RF layer modulates the PHY frame on required ISM RF carrier as per regulatory requirement and transmits on to the air.
Note: Information provided on this page is derived from LoRaWAN Specification V1.0 released on Jan.2015 by LoRa™ Alliance. LoRa alliance is responsible for changes to the specifications at any time without notice. RF Wireless World is not responsible for any issues with regard to the same. Refer latest specifications published by LoRa Alliance ( https://www.lora-alliance.org ) for any changes required to be done for the products under development as per LoRa standard.
As we know LoRA is popular wireless technology used as wide area network for IoT (Internet of things).
Figure-1 depicts typical components in a LoRA tranceiver chip. It consists of UART, processor, GPIOs, LoRA protocol stack, LoRA Radio layer, interface buses (e.g. I2C, SPI) etc. Microcontroller Unit is interfaced using UART with LoRA transceiver for monitor and control applications. GPIOs are used to interface any user defined hardware components such as LEDs, Switches etc. LoRA RF layer is interfaced with antenna of different frequency bands such as 433 and 868 MHz. LoRA transceiver requires crystal for running the processor and real time clock.
