Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a gateway, and more particularly to a low-power, long-distance, dual-power Lorawan gateway applied in the field of protocol gateways. Background Technology
[0002] A gateway, also known as an internetwork connector or protocol converter, enables network interconnection at the network layer and above. It is the most complex network interconnection device and is used only for interconnecting two networks with different high-level protocols. Gateways can be used for both wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) interconnection.
[0003] In a LoRaWAN network, the gateway plays a crucial role. It is responsible for collecting and forwarding data from end devices, and also acts as a bridge connecting the LoRaWAN network and external networks (such as Ethernet or cellular networks). The hardware architecture of a gateway typically includes key components such as radio frequency modules, processors, and memory to ensure stable data transmission and processing.
[0004] However, some gateways lack a stable and reliable connection platform, resulting in an inability to provide a more stable and reliable connection. Furthermore, some gateways do not have ultra-large connection capacity, making it impossible to support the access of a large number of devices. Therefore, a low-power, long-distance, dual-power Lorawan gateway is provided. Utility Model Content

The ZY2S208 gateway has encrypted communication and adopts a data cloud-based approach.
[0009] As a further improvement to this application, the PCB board is equipped with an automatic switching circuit and a SIM card slot. The antenna surge protector, LoRaWAN antenna, elbow antenna, power interface, Ethernet interface, USB debugging interface and built-in battery are all electrically connected to the PCB board.
[0010] As a further improvement of this application, the antenna surge protector, LoRaWAN antenna, and elbow antenna are all electrically connected to the power interface, the antenna surge protector, LoRaWAN antenna, and elbow antenna are all electrically connected to the Ethernet interface, and the antenna surge protector, LoRaWAN antenna, and elbow antenna are all electrically connected to the built-in battery.
[0011] As another improvement of this application, the power interface, Ethernet interface and USB debugging interface are all provided with matching interface covers, and the three bent antennas are respectively a Wi-Fi antenna, a 4G antenna and a GPS antenna.
[0012] As another improvement of this application, the ZY2S208 gateway adopts the PCI ExpressMiniCard 1.2 standard interface, and the ZY2S208 gateway transmits 330mA and receives 50mA. The USB debugging interface includes a USB interface and a UART interface.
[0013] In summary, in practical applications, the surge protector provides excellent lightning protection for this protocol gateway. The three bent antennas enable multiple network connection methods. Program optimization achieves low power consumption and narrowband transmission. It supports full-duplex operation, with independent transmit and receive channels, offering both high receiving sensitivity and high transmitting power. The gateway supports 8 parallel channels or can be expanded to support 16 parallel channels. Real-time monitoring of the gateway status provides a more stable and reliable connection platform. It supports global frequency bands and has a large connection capacity, supporting up to 2000 devices per day, effectively expanding the application scope of the protocol network management system.
