Hello
gateway : RAK7289V2
loRa module: RAK3172
is being tested by installing .
The installation environment is a parking lot with the first and second floors, and the gateway is installed on the first floor.
The LoRa module installed on the first floor is communicating normally, and the LoRa module installed on the second floor has poor sensitivity, resulting in poor communication.
The image below shows the communication information of the LoRa Module installed on the second floor of the parking lot, and shows poor sensitivity.
We did everything we could with the LoRa module
The gateway is considering changing the antenna and setting values.
Is there any information I don’t know that could help?
What is the enclosure material?
Did you keep the antenna clear of any metal parts, battery, PCB’s?
As an example see our warning for the integrated antenna of our Unify Enclosure:
If you install two gateways, I would like to ask you a question because the second floor does not have an environment to install Ethernet cables.
Gateways are installed on the first and second floors, and gateways on the first floor are connected to Ethernet cables to connect to the Internet.
I wonder if the gateway can act as a repeater.
I wonder if it is possible to set the 2nd floor gateway as a repeater and connect it with the 1st floor gateway to transmit and receive data.
3.If it is possible to act as a repeater, I would like to receive a product recommendation that can act as a repeater.
