Building on technology from the recent acquisition of device-to-cloud LoRaWAN®-based solutions firm, Haxiot, Digi International broadens its IoT footprint with an end-to-end LoRaWAN starter kit that is scalable, flexible, and secure.

Digi LoRaWAN Starter Kit (XON-9-L1-KIT-001)

The Digi LoRaWAN starter kit provides a complete rapid prototype and development environment with device, gateway, and IoT cloud for developing end-to-end LoRaWAN solutions.

  • Digi 8-channel LoRaWAN HXG3000 Ethernet gateway
  • Client shield with LoRaWAN module, LED, digital input, and temperature sensors
  • Digi X-ON cloud platform 30-day free trial account with scan-and-go mobile provisioning

Benefits of LoRaWAN

LoRa®, short for long range, is a wireless radio frequency technology that was developed to offer a low power and long range solution for battery-powered IoT products. The LoRaWAN wireless protocol is standardized and widely available, with the technology now operable across an interconnected worldwide ecosystem managed by the LoRa Alliance®. The following are key benefits of the LoRaWAN protocol:

  • Long Range: Connects devices up to 30 miles apart in rural areas with the ability to penetrate dense urban or deep indoor environments.
  • Low Power: Battery life capacity up to 10 years.
  • Advanced Security: End-to-end AES128 encryption, mutual authentication, integrity protection and confidentiality.
  • Simple Integration: Highly compatible with existing infrastructures with access to expansive global LoRaWAN networks.
  • Geolocation: Compatible with GPS-free tracking applications, offering low power benefits.
  • Mobile: Maintains communication with devices in motion without strain on power consumption.
  • High Capacity: Supports millions of messages per base station to meet the demand of public network operators serving large markets.
  • Low Cost: Simple integration, long battery life and operational efficiencies provide for cost savings.
