67.1	18	=== 1. Introduction ===
36.1	19
67.1	20	==== 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator? ====
36.1	21
98.2	22	The PG1302 is a multi-channel high performance transmitter/receiver designed to simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading factors on random channels. Its goal is to enable robust connection between a central wireless data concentrator and a massive amount of wireless end-points spread over a very wide range of distances.
36.1	23
98.12	24
98.2	25	The PG1302 is design to use with Raspberry Pi to build smart metering fixed networks and Internet of Things applications with up to 5000 nodes per km2 in moderately interfered environment.
87.1	26
98.12	27
98.2	28	PG1302 is fully compatible with RPi3/4, users can use the pre-build OS from Dragino to set up and easy to use the module by Web UI. Or install the raw lorawan driver in the exist OS.
