1. Introduction

LoRaWAN is a communication protocol and a system architecture that is used to read
data from sensors through a dynamic network of gateways (end devices do not join a
single base station). LoRaWAN uses a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulation and
operates in the license free bands (ISM).
ADS-270 is an ultra low power, battery powered end node for the LoRa network. The
unit is available for the 863 to 870 MHz band. It incorporates two inputs, one digital
with pulse counter capability and one analog, as well as multiple excitation options for
powering transducers.
The device supports acquisition of up to 8 measurement channels, based on the
popular SDI-12 communication protocol and 8 channels, based on the MODBUS
protocol. ADS-270 can send an unlimited number of messages per day. The unit
incorporates a Lithium Thionyl Battery supplying system operation for up to 10 years.
