LPWAN
The Subeca Link uses LoRa as the main LPWAN technology to communicate with the gateways throughout a
city. LoRa works in many countries on different frequencies. In the US this is the 902-928 MHZ ISM band.
LoRa uses frequency hopping to obtain reliable communications and the Subeca Link uses class A (low power
mode where the end node, the Subeca Link in this case, initiates communications with the gateway), to attain
the specced battery lifetime.
The custom Argolis Protocol describes all LoRa functionality.
Bluetooth (Lerna Protocol)
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is the core platform for the short-range communications. The Subeca Module
uses BLE to communicate with other Lerna-enabled devices.
The custom Lerna Protocol describes all Bluetooth functionality.
Device Table
Each Subeca Module can communicate with up to 16 devices. The first 5 devices are onboard the Subeca
Module and devices 6-15 are configurable Bluetooth-connected devices. Device 16 is for a bluetooth pressure
sensor. This table is stored in non-volatile memory on the Subeca Module and can be accessed through the
Bluetooth connection.
