MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP LR8G kit, Wi-Fi 2,4 GHz b/g/n, LoRa modem, 2 dBi, LAN, L4

The MikroTik wAP LR8G kit is an outdoor wireless access point with an integrated LoRa (Long Range) interface, designed for IoT applications. It combines a LoRa gateway and an access point with Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) support.

Key Features:

• LoRa interface: supports connecting IoT devices over long distances using the LoRaWAN protocol.
• Powerful wireless connection: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi according to 802.11b/g/n standard for local network connectivity.
• Rugged design: durable casing with weatherproof protection (IP54), suitable for outdoor installations.
• Ethernet: one port for network connection.
• Integrated PoE power: supports power over Ethernet (passive PoE).
• Complete package: includes LoRa module, PoE injector, power adapter, and installation accessories (stand, wall and ceiling mount, metal tie wrap).

The unit comes with RouterOS from MikroTik with L4 license.

LoRa is one of the wireless network protocols used in the Internet of Things – IoT.
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is another low-power wireless network protocol designed for cheap and secure bidirectional communication in IoT. It uses the spectrum below 1 GHz and the transmission speed ranges from 0.3 kb/s to 50 kb/s.
Communication between end devices and gateways is spread across different frequency bands and transmission speeds. The choice of transmission speed is a trade-off between communication range and message length. Different communication streams with varying transmission speeds do not interfere with each other (due to spread spectrum technology) and create a set of "virtual" channels to increase gateway capacity.
To maximize the battery life of end devices and overall network capacity, the LoRaWAN network server manages the transmission speed and RF output for each end device individually through an adaptive data rate (ADR) system.

LoRaWAN distinguishes several device classes:
Class A – end devices support bidirectional communication (each uplink is followed by two receive windows)
Class B – besides the "forced" downlink of Class A, these devices open additional receive windows at scheduled times
Class C – receive windows are open almost continuously and only close during transmission
