Impulse - Proof of Coverage Test Tool for LoRaWAN
Impulse allows you to prove IoT Network Coverage at a specific location. We often use a signal strength bar on our mobile devices to know if we have cellular connectivity, but IoT devices typically are very low power, have no display, and can be in RF-hostile environments. Impulse allows you to prove coverage in your location. Impulse derives its power and geolocation from your mobile device (Android today, iOS Coming Soon!). It comes pre-provisioned on your favorite IoT Network, so there is no provisioning or data plan required. Once Impulse is plugged into your mobile device, you can - Observe signal strength (RSSI) and signal-to-noise ratio from Impulse's perspective. Observe signal strength and SNR from your network/gateway's perspective. Automatically push uplinks at defined intervals. Witness on a map whether or not you have IoT Network Coverage in a particular location. Record CSV data on your device for offline analysis. Modify Impulse's Tx Power so you can optimize battery li
