Portable relay nodes pass the signal along a chain (multi-hop), giving teams another way to stay in contact where a conventional repeater is hard to place.

01 Where LoRa can fit

Spread-out, changing work areas.

LoRa walkie talkies carry voice over a LoRa radio link. Obor Kuasa plans, sets up and supports LoRa walkie talkie systems for teams in Malaysia.

Plantations

Spread-out outdoor sites where teams work far apart.

Quarries and mining

Temporary or moving work areas, where relay nodes can be repositioned as the work moves.

Utilities corridors

Long outdoor routes where a conventional repeater is hard to place.

02 Follow the signal

One hop at a time, across the terrain.

  1. 01 / Problem

    Teams work far apart

    Spread-out or moving work areas where handhelds lose contact and a conventional repeater is hard to place.

  2. 02 / Relay

    The signal is passed along

    Portable relay nodes pass the signal along a chain (multi-hop) so the link reaches every work area.

  3. 03 / Moves

    Nodes move with the work

    Relay nodes can be repositioned as the work moves. Range depends on terrain, vegetation, buildings and node placement.

03 What we plan and deliver

Handsets, relay path, checks, support.

Range depends on terrain, vegetation, buildings and node placement, so we do not quote a fixed distance before checking the site.

04 Coverage topology

A chain of relay nodes.

Select a block or a view. Light pulses travel from node to node; an existing radio system can stay in place as the main path.

LoRa topology: handset A, relay nodes 1 to 3, handset B, and an existing radio system kept as a separate path.

  1. Many teams use LoRa as a second path in the areas their current system does not cover.

  2. LoRa walkie talkies carry voice over a LoRa radio link.

  3. Portable relay nodes pass the signal along a chain (multi-hop).

  4. Where portable relay nodes go so the link reaches every work area.

  5. Relay nodes can be repositioned as the work moves.

  6. Test calls along the planned path before handover.

05 How it works

Understand. Plan. Check. Support.

How we approach a LoRa deployment, in four steps.

  1. Illustration: gloved hand holding a rugged handset
    01 / Survey

    Understand the area and users

    Where people work, how they move, and where contact is lost today.

  2. Illustration: relay chain across hills
    02 / Design

    Plan the relay path

    Where portable relay nodes go so the link reaches every work area.

  3. Illustration: relay node on a ridge
    03 / Install & check

    Check on site

    Test calls along the planned path before handover.

  4. Illustration: support desk

Range depends on terrain, vegetation, buildings and node placement, so we do not quote a fixed distance before checking the site.

07 Before / after

Gaps across the pit versus a relay chain.

Drag the handle. Left: handhelds alone across a spread-out site. Right: the same area with portable relay nodes.

Licensing

MCMC requirements

Radio use in Malaysia is regulated by MCMC. We check the requirements for the equipment and band used in your deployment.

Range

No brochure figure

How far it reaches depends on the site. We confirm it with on-site checks rather than a brochure figure.

09 Field questions

LoRa questions.

Short answers. Range and placement are confirmed on site.

01Does LoRa replace our current radios?

Not necessarily. Many teams use it as a second path in the areas their current system does not cover.

02How far does it reach?

It depends on the site. We confirm it with on-site checks rather than a brochure figure.
