Point to LoRa Gateway Application

After user terminal devices form a network via LoRa nodes and the LG210 gateway, the system enables localized zonal management of devices centered around the gateway. This ensures orderly data transmission from multiple nodes without mutual interference, while guaranteeing encrypted data transfer to rapidly achieve end-to-cloud connectivity.

Point to Point/multiple Points Transmission

The USR-DR206-H and USR-DR216-H support both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communication. This device supports various working modes such as data transmission, master-slave mode, fixed-point transmission, and data broadcasting. Users can choose the appropriate mode according to their own needs for use.

Long Transmission Distance

Point-to-point communication can achieve a maximum measured transmission distance of 6 KM. Point-to-gateway communication can achieve a maximum transmission distance of up to 4.5 KM as measured in practice.

LoRa Network Repeater

The USR-DR206-H and USR-DR216-H support customizable relay transmission paths and multi-level relaying. The module automatically forwards data, extending the wireless transmission distance, making it suitable for communication in ultra-long-distance or obstacle-rich environments.

Signal Diagnosis, Accelerated Network Deployment

With the diagnosis Solves the most painful signal challenges in wireless deployment (interference, distance judgment, quality assessment), saving significant debugging time and ensuring stable operation.

LBT Anti-Interference Function

Before transmitting data, the module detects the current channel environment. If the threshold is exceeded, it delays and re-detects before sending. This avoids packet loss due to interference and improves communication success rates.

Data Security

Data is encrypted during LoRa transmission to ensure enhanced security. Encryption keys are user-configurable; communication is only possible between devices with matching keys.

Other Important Functions

The USR-DR206-H and USR-DR216-H also support other functions such as FEC (Forward Error Correction) and data re-transmission, helping users to transmit data more stably.

Smart Factory Energy Monitoring

The USR-DR216-H connect to sensors inside distribution boxes via RS485 to acquire critical electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and power factor. The collected data is wirelessly transmitted to the USR-LG210-H gateway, which then forwards it to either the PUSR Cloud or a private server for centralized remote management. Leveraging long-range, high-sensitivity LoRa radio technology and robust immunity to interference, the system delivers reliable and stable performance even in harsh industrial environments.

Intelligent Agricultural Applications

Farmland sensors are connected to the USR-DR206-H. By setting up wireless data transmission with the LoRa gateway, long-distance sending/receiving and control are quickly achieved. Online monitoring and control of irrigation, pests and diseases, and fertilization are realized, thereby reducing the number of on-site personnel, comprehensively improving farm production management, increasing economic benefits, and lowering operating costs.
