Product Description

The RAK10701-Plus LoRaWAN Field Tester is an advanced, all-in-one solution for comprehensive indoor and outdoor LoRaWAN network analysis. This powerful device offers real-time insights for both uplink and downlink signal quality (RSSI and SNR), packet loss rates and distance information from gateways using its built-in GPS/GNSS receiver, making it an indispensable tool for network deployment and optimization.

Equipped with a touchscreen LCD and an intuitive user interface, the RAK10701-Plus operates independently, providing the convenience of easily tagging or labeling testing locations. The device also allows configuration of key parameters such as DR (Data Rate), frequency band, and power directly on the device, eliminating the need for external applications and enhancing on-site testing efficiency and flexibility.

Additionally, the RAK10701-Plus works with the WisGateOS2 Mapper Extension for backend analysis and supports CSV data export for easy documentation and analysis of results.
