Cisco Interface Module for LoRaWAN
The Cisco
®
interface module for LoRaWAN provides unlicensed low-power, wide area
(LPWA) wireless connectivity for a range of Internet of Things (IoT) use cases such as
asset tracking, water and gas metering, smart parking, smart building, street lighting,
environment monitoring, and smart agriculture. The Cisco interface module for
LoRaWAN complies with the specification defined by the LoRa
asset tracking, water and gas metering, smart parking, smart building, street lighting,
environment monitoring, and smart agriculture. The Cisco interface module for
LoRaWAN complies with the specification defined by the LoRa
®
Alliance enabling cost
effective and long distance connectivity for low power consumption and low bandwidth
end-devices, such as the sensors or actuators. The carrier-grade Cisco Gateways for
LoRaWAN, IR809 and IR829 with this interface module, are part of Cisco’s solution for
LoRaWAN offering rich network services such as bi-directional communication,
mobility, geo-localization, secure WAN backhaul, and real-time network management
for service providers and vertical IoT application providers running public and/or
private IOT infrastructures, potentially leveraging upcoming roaming capabilities.

Product Overview
The Cisco interface module for LoRaWAN (Figure 1) is a module from Cisco IoT extension module series
connected the Cisco 809 and 829 Industrial Routers and are positioned as the carrier-grade gateways for the
outdoor deployment, including the harsh environments. This module is very flexible to extend to Cisco other
products in future according to the different deployment scenarios.
This interface module is designed according to Semtech LoRa
®
gateway hardware reference version 2.0,
supporting Semtech LoRa
®
radio technology and the LoRaWAN specification defined by the LoRa
®
Alliance. This
interface module embeds Semtech LoRa
®
baseband chipset to modulate/demodulate the radio signal from the
end-devices. Complying with the LoRaWAN specification, it supports the end-device types of Class A, B and C,
GPS timing, Spreading Factors, Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) and is ready for geo-localization service.
