MikroTik wAP LR9G Kit – Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway with 915MHz Support

Description

The MikroTik wAP LR9G Kit is an outdoor LoRa gateway designed to connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices to public or private LoRa networks. Built into MikroTik’s compact weather-resistant wAP enclosure, it combines a 915MHz LoRa radio, GPS functionality, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity in a ready-to-deploy gateway solution.

Available from Globikom Kenya, the MikroTik wAP LR9G Kit is suitable for IoT developers, system integrators, network installers, agricultural technology providers and businesses developing remote monitoring and sensor-network applications.

915MHz LoRa Connectivity

The wAP LR9G Kit supports LoRa technology in the 915MHz frequency band. LoRa is designed for low-power, long-range communication between compatible IoT sensors and gateways, making it useful for applications where devices transmit small amounts of data over extended distances.

The gateway includes a LoRa radio with improved receiver sensitivity of up to -141 dBm under specified conditions. Actual coverage depends on the sensor’s radio performance, antenna configuration, terrain, obstructions, interference and applicable transmission limits.

The device comes with a preinstalled UDP packet forwarder for sending LoRa packets to a selected compatible network server. It can be integrated with public or private LoRa network infrastructure, including supported The Things Network deployments.

Built-In GPS Functionality

The MikroTik wAP LR9G Kit includes GPS functionality through its integrated GNSS module. This can support location-aware IoT deployments and applications that need positioning information from the gateway.

GPS availability and accuracy depend on antenna conditions, satellite visibility and the installation environment. Confirm the requirements of your application before deployment.

2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Ethernet

Alongside its LoRa radio, the gateway provides 2.4GHz Wi-Fi supporting 802.11b/g/n, with a maximum advertised wireless data rate of 300 Mbps. This wireless interface supports local device access and network configuration.

The device also includes one 10/100 Ethernet port for connecting to a wired network. Ethernet can provide a network backhaul connection to a router or switch, depending on the installation design.

The LoRa interface is intended for IoT communication and should not be confused with conventional Wi-Fi networking. LoRa-compatible sensors and a suitable network server are required to build a complete LoRa-based solution.

Outdoor-Ready Design

The wAP LR9G Kit uses an IP54-rated enclosure designed for suitable outdoor installations. Its compact form factor supports mounting on appropriate outdoor structures, such as poles or building surfaces.

The unit is specified for operation in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +60°C. For reliable service, install it according to MikroTik’s mounting guidance and protect connections from unsuitable environmental exposure.

Flexible Power Options

The gateway supports three power input options: passive Power over Ethernet, a DC power jack and an automotive power connection. This flexibility can be useful in fixed installations as well as suitable remote deployments where a vehicle or compatible DC supply is available.

Maximum power consumption is approximately 7W. Use a compatible power source and follow the manufacturer’s voltage and installation requirements.

Applications for IoT and Remote Monitoring

The MikroTik wAP LR9G Kit can be considered for:

• Smart agriculture and irrigation monitoring.
• Remote environmental and sensor monitoring.
• IoT deployments using compatible LoRa devices.
• Private or public LoRa network gateway installations.
• Outdoor data collection and telemetry projects.
• GPS-enabled IoT infrastructure.

The gateway is one component of a complete IoT system. Sensors, a compatible LoRa network server, application software and network connectivity may be required, depending on the project.

Regional Frequency Compatibility

This model is specified for the 915MHz LoRa band. Before deploying it in Kenya or another African country, confirm that the frequency, channel plan and transmission settings comply with local radio regulations and match the requirements of your LoRa network.
