<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="What_is_the_Dragino_Lora_Shield">What is the Dragino Lora Shield</span></h2>
 
<p>The Dragino Lora Shield is a long range transceiver on a Arduino shield form factor and based on Open source library.The Lora Shield allows the user to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates.It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimising current consumption.
 
</p><p><br />
 
The Lora Shield based on RFM95W/RFM98W  targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation systems, smart metering, smart cities, smartphone detection, building automation, and so on.
 
</p><p><br />
 
Using Hope RF’s patented LoRaTM modulation technique the Lora Shield can achieve a sensitivity of over -148dBm using a low cost crystal and bill of materials. The high sensitivity combined with the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier yields  industry  leading  link  budget  making  it optimal for any application requiring range or robustness. LoRaTM also provides significant advantages in both blocking and selectivity over conventional modulation techniques, solving the traditional design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy consumption.
 
</p><p><br />
 
These devices also support high performance (G)FSK modes for systems including WMBus, IEEE802.15.4g. The Lora Shield deliver exceptional phase noise, selectivity, receiver linearity  and  IIP3  for  significantly lower  current consumption than competing devices.

<p>The RadioHead Library simplifies communication between the Arduino Board and the Lora Shield.We can find it here: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/">http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/</a>  To use it in your project you just have to copy it in your Arduino project folder (next to your main Arduino project file .ino).After putting the lIbrary in the right place, you have to also modify the frequency to the frequency you want to use, the position of this is    <span class="bluetext">setFrequency()</span> in the file:<span class="bluetext"> arduino-xxx\libraries\RadioHead\RH_RF95.cpp</span>; Then ,we can easily to use it to do some experimentation.

In this example,we use two Lora Shields to transmit and receive signal,there are some project in the RadioHead Library,the operation is as follows:
 
</p>
 
<ul><li>Connect two Lora Shields with Arduino board and connect them to computer via the USB cable;</li></ul>
 
<p>We used the Lora Shield+Arduino UNO as the server to transmit signal and the Lora Shield+Aduino MEGA2560 as the client to receive signal here.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Usage_Notice">Usage Notice</span></h2>
 
<p>You have to be aware that Radio link quality and performances are highly dependent of environment.
 
</p><p>Better performances can be reached with:
 
</p>
 
<ul><li> Outdoor environment.</li></ul>
 
<ul><li> No obstacles.</li></ul>
 
<ul><li> No high level radio interferer in the ISM 868MHz band.</li></ul>
 
<ul><li> At least 1 meter above the ground.</li></ul>
 
<p><br />
 
</p><p><br />
 
Radio performances are degraded with:
 
</p>
 
<ul><li> Obstacles: buildings, trees...</li></ul>
 
<ul><li> Inner buildings environments.</li></ul>
 
<ul><li> High ISM 868MHz band usage by other technologies.</li></ul>
 
<p>Radio communication are usually killed with bad topographic conditions. It is usually not possible to communicate through a hill, even very small.
