A few months ago we started conversations with a scale manufacturer who asked us to develop a Datalogger data storage system with Lora transmission up to a Lora Gateware.
This lora gateway should have the capacity to be able to store the data of the rs232/lora clients once the client/gateway is synchronized.
The Gateway data will be stored in it until you have an internet connection (Wifi, 4g, satellite) which will be stored in the QTSAGRO cloud database system.

This is the prototype of the Rs232 Client to Lora/Datalogger

The characteristics of this client are an RS232 Xon/Xoff connection that collects the communication data in an internal memory.
These stored data can be viewed from a tablet or cell phone connected by WIFI through a web application on the client.
All stored data is transmitted through the LoraWan client to a gateway as soon as the Client/Gateway communication is established.
Likewise, all the data is geolocated through the GPS integrated into the electronics developed.
You can see the 2.4 mhz antenna for wifi and the 915 mhz antenna for lora as well as the standardized DB9 connector for rs232. The central connector is for 12v DC power.

This is the prototype of the Gateway Lora/Dataloger

The characteristics of this Gateway are a Wi-Fi internet connection, 4G connection. Connection to WIFI clients with access to internal web server to view collected data. Communication with LoraWan clients to collect the communication data in an internal memory referencing each client.
These stored data can be viewed from a tablet or a cell phone connected by WIFI
All stored data is received through the LoraWan client as soon as the Client/Gateway communication is established.
Likewise, all the data is geolocated through the GPS integrated into the electronics developed.
You can see the 2.4 mhz antenna for wifi and the 915 mhz antenna for lora. The central connector is for 12v DC power.
The communication range can vary depending on the terrain from 4 to 15 km.
This is a sample display of Lora clients connected to the Gateway
