Description

The RAKwireless RF Lightning Arrestor is a critical safety component for any outdoor IoT deployment. This Surge Protective Device (SPD) is engineered to protect transceivers and gateways from over-voltage and high-current surges induced by lightning strikes. By shunting excess energy to the ground before it reaches your gateway, this arrestor prevents catastrophic hardware failure. Its bi-directional N-type interface makes it compatible with a wide range of LoRa, Wi-Fi, and LTE antennas, ensuring your infrastructure remains operational through severe weather.

Advanced Surge Protection Technology

Gas Discharge Tube Logic Utilizes switching-type protection with a DC startup voltage of 600V, providing a rapid response to surge events while maintaining a high transmission power capacity of up to 200W.
Excellent Impedance Matching With a VSWR of ≤1.2 in the 0-2000 MHz range, this arrestor ensures that signal reflections are minimized, preserving the range and sensitivity of your LoRaWAN network.

Professional Deployment Scenarios

• Tower Mounts: Essential for gateways deployed on telecommunication towers or high-altitude masts where the risk of direct lightning strikes is elevated.
• Rooftop Installations: Shield indoor equipment from surges traveling down the coaxial feedline from rooftop-mounted fiberglass antennas.
• Remote Site Protection: Minimize maintenance visits and hardware replacement costs by ruggedizing off-grid solar or industrial monitoring stations.
