Overview

 

SW8021 is a LoRa gateway module with industrial standard mini PCI express form factor based on SX1302 chipset. 
This mPCIe module can be used in any embedded platform offering a free mPCIe slot with SPI connectivity and 
capable of providing enough power for the module, enables low-power wide area communication capabilities to 
your new gateway design or existing industrial routers/computer. 
SW8021 is a complete and cost efficient LoRa gateway solution offering up to eight(8) programmable parallel 
demodulation paths, an 8 x 8 channel LoRa packet detectors, 8 x SF5-SF12 LoRa demodulators and 8 x SF5-SF10 
LoRa  demodulators.  It  is  capable  of  detecting  uninterrupted  combination  of  packets  at  8  different  spreading 
factors  and  8  channels  with  continuous  demodulation  of  up  to  16  packets.  It  targets  Internet-of-Things  (IoT) 
applications, covering up to 500 nodes per square kilometer in an environment with moderate interference.
