Becoming a Better Listener: The SX1302 Gateway Reference Design

Posted by Devesh Katta & Tim Cooper on Jan 25, 2021 7:57:29 AM

An increasingly important aspect of operating a LoRaWAN network in a shared ISM band is avoiding interference from existing devices operating in the same band, and minimizing the interference caused to other users of the spectrum. To help network operators achieve this, Semtech is introducing two new features to the SX1302 LoRa Corecell gateway reference design: Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) and Spectral Scan.
