The 8-Channel LoRa Gateway Kit is a complete, ready-to-assemble package that turns a Raspberry Pi into a multi-channel LoRa gateway for long-range IoT communication without cellular fees. It includes the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, SX1301-based LoRa concentrator, GPS antenna, power supply, and a compact anodised aluminium enclosure.

LoRa (Long Range) radio is ideal for deploying IoT sensor networks in rural or remote areas where WiFi and cellular coverage is limited. The 8-channel SX1301 concentrator handles multiple clients on different LoRa channels simultaneously without code modifications. No soldering is required — just screw the parts together and boot from the pre-loaded SD card.
