LoRaWAN Link & Battery Optimizer - Bluetooth pocket tester: Loptimizer | PILOT THINGS

The Loptimizer is a compact LoRaWAN diagnostic and optimization tool designed to improve radio link quality and reduce battery risks before deploying devices at scale. Used with a Bluetooth mobile app (tablet compatible), it provides objective scoring to compare locations, configurations, and installation conditions for both indoor and outdoor use.

Advantages

• Objective link scoring to compare locations and configurations quickly and consistently.
• Deployment confidence by validating coverage and uplink performance before installation.
• Battery impact awareness to help avoid configurations that increase energy consumption.
• Fast field workflow with single tests and structured campaigns.
• Portable pocket hardware built for on-site surveys and commissioning.

Main Features

• User-friendly mobile app with scoring to simplify signal comparisons.
• Single LinkCheck test with instant link score.
• Selection of Transmit Power and Data Rate (DR) for controlled testing.
• Test campaigns with scoring to determine a location score.
• History for up to 10 test campaigns for repeatable comparisons.
• Custom score weighting to match your operational priorities.
• Optimizer mode that leverages device properties to guide configuration choices.

Typical Applications

• Site surveys prior to LoRaWAN device installation
• Commissioning and validation of device placement
• Indoor/outdoor coverage verification (campuses, buildings, industrial sites)
• Pilot projects and roll-out planning (network quality benchmarking)
• Battery optimization assessments by configuration comparison

Additional Information

Hardware highlights:

• Bluetooth connectivity
• 1.3-inch OLED display
• User and Reset buttons
• USB rechargeable battery
• Battery charging LED + 2 status indicator LEDs

Battery insight (illustrative):

• Battery impact is calculated under best conditions using 19-byte messages (DR0 max).
• DR1 can lead to approximately +50% battery drain versus DR0 (under the stated assumptions).
