Ultra-Low Power (~2μA)

Node platform deep sleep draw of ~2μA yielding multi-year operational life on internal batteries.

Industrial Protection

Overvoltage protection up to 25V DC continuous and ±15kV ESD air discharge rating on communication lines.

Sub-GHz IN865 Radio

22 dBm transmit power delivering up to 15 km range without mobile data subscriptions.

Core Architectural Advantages

Why Deploy Vandyam LoRaWAN Products

Explore how our RS-485 Modbus Node provides non-cellular independence, 10,000+ node gateway scalability, and custom hardware engineering.

Zero Telco Dependency

Non-Cellular Network Ownership

Operate entirely on license-free Sub-GHz radio spectrum (865 MHz IN865). Eliminates monthly cellular SIM fees, telco carrier dead zones, and dependence on public tower infrastructure.

LoRaWAN Standard Advantage
High Density Capacity

Mass Deployment Scalability

A single 8-channel Vandyam LoRaWAN outdoor gateway handles up to 10,000+ active sensor nodes across a tested 10+ km LOS radius, with virtually unlimited range achievable through gateway mesh technology. Effortlessly scale across massive industrial, agricultural, or utility sites.

LoRaWAN Standard Advantage
Micro-Amp Sleep

Ultra-Low Power Operations

Sub-GHz radio modulation coupled with micro-amp deep sleep states (~2μA sleep current). Sensor nodes deliver 5 to 10+ years of uninterrupted battery life without field maintenance.

LoRaWAN Standard Advantage
100% Data Sovereignty

On-Premise Gateway & Network Server

Run ChirpStack network servers directly on-premise or on the edge gateway. 100% local data privacy, air-gapped security compliance, zero cloud vendor lock-in, and instant local MQTT decodes.

LoRaWAN Standard Advantage
Engineering Flexibility

Highly Customizable Hardware & Firmware Solutions

From an engineering perspective, every operational environment is unique. Vandyam's LoRaWAN product stack is designed from the ground up to be fully customizable to meet exact client telemetry, sensor, power, and enclosure requirements.
