4 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
4.1 Product description
The ReliaWAN 10-12 is a compact and lightweight device intended to be used together with a Main
Device (for example: ReliaGATE 10-12 IoT gateway).
The ReliaWAN 10-12 is a LoRa Gateway module that adds LPWAN capabilities to the Main Device.
Based on the Semtech SX1301 data concentrator, ReliaWAN 10-12 is an industrial grade expansion
module. Fully compatible with existing LoRa infrastructures and capable of managing thousands of
nodes, it is the fastest way to bridge an LPWAN with any cloud application.
The ReliaWAN 10-12 is a global device that supports European and North America ISM bands; its
long range radio reaches up to 15 km / 10 miles in unobstructed applications. In difficult environments,
such as urban areas with multiple building its penetration reaches a radius of 2 km / 1.5 miles.
The ReliaWAN 10-12 is supported by Everyware Software Framework (ESF), a commercial,
enterprise-ready edition of Eclipse Kura, the open source Java/ OSGi middleware for IoT gateways.
Distributed and supported by Eurotech, ESF adds advanced security, diagnostics, provisioning,
remote access and full integration with Everyware Cloud (EC), Eurotech’s IoT integration platform
(separately available).
The ReliaWAN 10-12 can be personalized and customized for additional capabilities through Eurotech
Professional Services.
