| |
7.1 | 12 | |
| |
2.1 | 13 | The Dragino GroPoint is a (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN Multi Soil Segment Converter**(%%) for IoT of Agriculture. It is designed to connect to [[GroPoint Profile Multi-depth Soil moisture and temperature profile Sensor>>url:https://www.gropoint.com/products/soil-sensors/gropoint-profile]] and get GroPoint Profile’s reading and send it to IoT server via LoRaWAN wireless network. |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
3.1 | 15 | (% style="color:blue" %)**GroPoint Profile is plug-and-play with GroPoint Air**(%%) to get soil moisture and send via wireless. GroPoint Profile is powered by GroPoint Air, (% style="color:blue" %)**no need external power source**(%%). |
| |
1.1 | 16 | |
| 17 | The LoRa wireless technology used in GroPoint Air allows devices to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | GroPoint Air is powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**an 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**(%%), it is designed for long-term use for up to 5 years. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Each GroPoint Air is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations, register these keys to the local LoRaWAN server and it will auto-connect after power on. | ||
