New field test device for Sigfox and LoRaWAN added to APC Smartwave IoT range
Field Test Device
APC Smartwave has added a new range of Field Test Devices from French manufacturer Adeunis RF to its comprehensive range of integrated IoT components and solutions.
Launched in June and available in the UK from APC Smartwave, the newly upgraded, ready-to-use hand-held devices provide an easy way to validate applications ahead of deployment including: sensor networks, asset tracking, smart buildings, metering, security, and M2M.
The Field Test Device can be used worldwide and is available in two formats: a pulse unit and a sensor unit. Both will provide a connection to any operated network using Sigfox and LoRaWAN V1.0.
When connected the device transmits through the used network and the radio frames can be viewed on a web application. This enables users to check all operating information including GPS co-ordinates, temperature and battery status. It will also provide critical network data covering: uplink, downlink and SF Packet Error Rates.
With a large LCD screen and a range of up to 15km, the devices feature high precision GPS and incorporate a 10-hour rechargeable battery which can be charged using a mobile phone charger. The units weigh 150g, can operate in temperatures from -20°C to +75°C and are certified to EN300-200 V2012.
