Tom HillHi,
A few questions regarding LORA offerings from Multitech:
1. Do you have any estimate as to when a Class B end node will be offered?
2. When Class B is offered, will that be just a firmware update? Will the end node (mDot) and Conduit both need new firmware?
3. For 868 MHz applications where a duty cycle limit is imposed, it seems like it would be very difficult for the Conduit gateway to stay within the <1% per channel limit (even when frequency hopping across all 8 channels). For example, with ACK turned on, the Conduit has to transmit a response every time it receives data from an mDot. On large networks, it seems like the Conduit would quickly max out it’s duty cycle limit. Do we understand this correctly and if so, how much could this limit network size?
4. Is there any estimate on when Multitech will support ‘Adaptive Data Rate’? Also, Semtech used two (2) gateways in their explanation of ADR’s usefulness. Is it also useful when employing only one (1) gateway?
Thanks, Tom
