[0003] In the aspect of long-distance communication, existing technology faces challenges.For example, long-distance indicator is developed to meet the demand of Gansu region overhead external signal type remote fault indicator popularization and anti-fire project, but the transmission distance of A7129 chip used before is short, which cannot meet the communication distance requirement of more than 1km when used with FTU.

The existing A7129 chip, with its low power consumption characteristics, has a short transmission distance of only about 50 meters, which cannot meet the communication distance requirement of more than 1 kilometer when the indicator is used in conjunction with an FTU.
