Presentation of the LG02 router
published: 24 August 2021 / updated 24 August 2021
Introduction
LG02 has rich internet connection methods such as WiFi interface, Ethernet port and Cellular (Optional). These Interfaces provide flexible methods for users to connect their sensor networks to Internet.
LG02 can be used to provide a low cost IoT wireless solution to support 50~300 sensor nodes.
LG02 can support multiply working mode such as: LoRa repeater mode, MQTT mode, TCP/IP Client mode, TCP/IP Server mode to fit different requirement for IoT connection.
