Description

The P-LPWA-900 is a pluggable LoRaWAN gateway radio module for the Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router. It adds LoRaWAN gateway capability to the IR1101, which suits IoT deployments such as utilities and remote sensing across the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

This is the 900 MHz variant with eight LoRa channels, covering the US915, AU915 and AS923 regional profiles in the 902-928 MHz ISM band. The module has one SMA(f) LoRa RF connector and one SMA(f) GNSS connector, plus LoRa Power and LoRa Status LEDs. It is managed through the CLI or the IOS XE Web UI and requires IOS XE 17.10.1 or later. Australia defaults to the AU915 channel plan, with AS923 also available. The companion P-LPWA-800 covers EU868, IND865 and RU864.

It installs in the IR1101 Base module or in the IRM-1100-SP and IRM-1100-SPMI expansion modules, with one LoRaWAN module supported per router. Supported antennas include ANT-LPWA-SMA-D, ANT-LPWA-DB-O-N-5 and ANT-WPAN-OD-OUT-N, with the GPS-ACT-ANTM-SMA GNSS antenna.

Q: What is the difference between the P-LPWA-900 and the P-LPWA-800?
A: The P-LPWA-900 covers the 900 MHz profiles US915, AU915 and AS923. The P-LPWA-800 covers EU868, IND865 and RU864.

Q: Is a GPS signal needed to use the module?
A: Yes. The radio will not turn on if the GPS fix is outside a supported country, and a GPS lock is mandatory for the Common Packet Forwarder application. The GPS-ACT-ANTM-SMA GNSS antenna is the supported option.

Q: Which antennas can be used with the LoRa connector?
A: Supported LoRa antennas are ANT-LPWA-SMA-D (1.0 dBi), ANT-LPWA-DB-O-N-5 (5.6 dBi) and ANT-WPAN-OD-OUT-N (1.5 dBi). Lightning arrestors CGR-LA-NM-NF and CGR-LA-NF-NF are also supported.

Q: Can the module be hot-swapped?
A: No. Physical online insertion and removal is not supported, so the module should not be inserted or removed while the router is running.
