3.2 LoRa Modulation Connection Type

This section captures the power profile of the WLR089 device under LoRa connection type communication and highlights the profile on the following scenarios:

  • Data Transmission
  • Data Reception
Note: Use the radio level commands to set the attributes to profile the scenarios, available in the WLR089U0 radio utility firmware (Radio Utility>Radio Utility WLR089 Ver 2.00).

The following table provides the radio attribute settings considered to profile the data transmission and data reception scenarios under the LoRa modulation connection type.
