Product details
Overview
Semtech IOT8EUATREF-1 is a complete LoRa® Asset Tracking Reference Kit for EU868 frequency band, comprising six GPS-enabled LoRaWAN trackers, one cellular-backhauled LoRaWAN gateway, antennas, power supply, and mounting accessories. It supports rapid PoC validation for logistics, fleet, and inventory tracking applications requiring long-range, low-power wireless connectivity and cloud-based location visualization.
For engineers reviewing the IOT8EUATREF-1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this kit delivers pre-integrated hardware, certified RF compliance (CE/RED), web-based map/history visualization, configurable battery-life trade-offs, and LoRa Basics™ Station–compatible gateway operation - all validated for EU868 asset tracking deployments.
Technical Context
The IOT8EUATREF-1 integrates LoRaWAN v1.0.2+ end devices with GNSS positioning and a gateway supporting 8+ LoRa channels, cellular (3G/4G) backhaul, and IP67-rated outdoor deployment. Its web portal provides real-time device location mapping, 7-day historical trajectory replay, and dual street/satellite view modes.
Device settings allow logical naming and selection between high-update-rate or extended-battery-life operational modes, with documented battery life impact. The gateway includes external antenna interfaces for LoRa, GPS, and cellular, plus Ethernet and modular SIM support.

FAQ
What is the IOT8EUATREF-1 used for?
The IOT8EUATREF-1 is a reference kit for evaluating LoRaWAN-based asset tracking solutions in the EU868 band. It includes six GPS trackers and one cellular-connected gateway, enabling rapid deployment of proof-of-concept systems for logistics, fleet management, and inventory monitoring - all supported by a cloud-based web portal with map and history views.
Does the IOT8EUATREF-1 include certified hardware?
Yes, the IOT8EUATREF-1 includes CE/RED-certified LoRaWAN trackers and gateway hardware. Both end devices and the gateway meet regulatory requirements for operation in the European Union, eliminating the need for additional certification during early-stage evaluation and PoC development.
Can the IOT8EUATREF-1 operate without internet connectivity?
No - the IOT8EUATREF-1 requires internet connectivity for full functionality. The gateway uses 3G/4G backhaul to forward LoRaWAN uplinks to cloud infrastructure, and the web portal (map, history, settings) is hosted remotely. Local offline operation is not supported.
What GPS capabilities does the IOT8EUATREF-1 provide?
The IOT8EUATREF-1 includes six GPS-enabled trackers that deliver real-time geolocation data to the web portal. Each tracker reports latitude/longitude coordinates, enabling map-based visualization, historical path replay over up to 7 days, and hybrid street/satellite display modes.
Is the IOT8EUATREF-1 compatible with LoRa Basics™ Station?
Yes, the IOT8EUATREF-1 gateway supports LoRa Basics™ Station firmware, including gateway ping and LoRaWAN v1.0.2+ protocol handling. This allows seamless integration with public or private LoRaWAN networks using Semtech's open-source network stack.
