ThinkNode G1 Indoor 8-Channel LoRaWAN Gateway SX1302 868MHz

The Elecrow ThinkNode G1 is a complete indoor LoRaWAN gateway for setting up private and professional IoT networks in the European EU868 frequency band. Core components include a MediaTek MT7628 processor and the Semtech SX1302 LoRa baseband chip with two SX1250 chips, together offering ten programmable parallel demodulation paths and high data processing capacity for large numbers of nodes. In open areas, the gateway achieves a LoRaWAN coverage of 5 to 10 km.

Recommended Accessories:

• ThinkNode M6 EU868 IP65 Solar Meshtastic nRF52840 with GPS
• ThinkNode M2 Meshtastic with OLED Display
• ThinkNode M1 Meshtastic with GPS and ePaper Display
• ThinkNode M5 ESP32-S3 Meshtastic with GPS and ePaper Display

Features:

• Semtech SX1302 baseband chip with two SX1250 chips and ten parallel demodulation paths provides high capacity for simultaneous communication with many LoRaWAN end nodes
• MediaTek MT7628 processor ensures stable and reliable data processing even under high network load with minimal latency
• Triple connectivity via WLAN, Ethernet, and optional 4G LTE allows flexible network connection in various installation environments
• Seamless compatibility with TTN, ChirpStack, and AWS IoT Core via Packet Forwarder and Basic Station for maximum flexibility in choosing the network server
• Support for all LoRaWAN classes A, B, and C, as well as Listen Before Talk (LBT) in the EU868 band for regulatory-compliant operation in Europe
• Intuitive LuCI web interface with AP hotspot configuration mode for quick commissioning without additional software or command line

Application Examples:

• Smart Agriculture – Networking of soil moisture sensors, climate stations, and livestock monitoring via LoRa nodes in the open field up to 10 km
• Building Automation and Smart Building – Energy management, access control, and security sensors via a private LoRaWAN network without cloud dependency
• Industrial IoT – Remote monitoring of machines and systems in factory halls or industrial sites through a completely private network
• Smart Metering – Remote reading of electricity, water, and gas meters in residential buildings and commercial properties
• Environmental Monitoring – Measurement of air and water quality in cities or protected areas with distributed sensor nodes
