LtAP LR8 LTE kit
Inside the heavy-duty case, there is a powerful 2.4
GHz wireless access point with a Gigabit Ethernet port,
built-in GPS and two internal LTE antennas. There are
two miniPCIe slots – one is used for the LTE modem,
the other one is populated with the concentrator
gateway card for LoRa® technology.
Internet-of-things has never been so aordable
To fully understand what this device can do, we need to talk about Internet-of-things. Let’s
start with an example. Imagine a farmer who has cattle, an irrigation system for the crops,
and storage for the goods. On a day-to-day basis he needs to:

Gigabit EthernetUSB portDC jack
RS232 serial port
3 MiniSIM slots
SMA female for external GPS antenna

for LoRa®
• track the animals;
• monitor the grain stock level;
• control the irrigation system.
For all these tasks the farmer can use low-cost wireless sensors. By connecting them to
the LtAP - he can gather the real-time data, combine it with the location information of the
vehicle, and send it to the cloud via high-speed LTE. Now all the information he needs to
monitor and plan the growth of his farms is in one place. So simple and so handy.
The wireless technology behind this is called LoRa®, which stands for Long Range. It requires
very low power. That’s why LoRa® is the best way to build your Internet-of-things solutions.
LoRa® can be used for anything from smart homes to agriculture, supply chains, logistics
and even smart cities. Monitor parking spaces, track utility services, measure environmental
data and so on - the possibilities are endless.
There are three powering
options: DC jack, PoE-in and
automotive. We have even
seen users powering the LtAP
with a 20 000 mAh power
bank throughout the day!
