DS20L LoRaWAN Distance Sensor 3-200cm Node 868MHz

The DS20L LoRaWAN distance sensor is your reliable partner for distance measurement in intelligent applications. Using state-of-the-art LiDAR technology, it measures distances between 3 and 200 cm and securely transmits the data via the LoRaWAN network. Its applications range from Smart City applications to building automation. The sensor is characterized by its longevity and minimal power consumption, thanks to the built-in 2400mAh battery, which enables usage for several years. Additionally, it is fully compatible with the LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A protocol and can be easily integrated into existing networks.

Each sensor is preloaded with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations. These keys are registered on the local LoRaWAN server and the sensor automatically connects upon power-on if network coverage is present.
