Description
Specifications

The repeater retransmits data from its associated nodes to the main gateway. Data can travel along multiple repeaters in hops before arriving at the main gateway, thus gaining significant longer range.

The K20 Edge Repeater extends the network range of single-net deployments, Field-proven tree network technology which has been tested for both straight and curved tunnels in underground mines, Up to 10 km of radio coverage for underground monitoring systems. Compared to other network topologies, long-range LoRa Tree topology offers the longest radio range in underground environments
