Prove every location before install
Run real LoRaWAN checks in the field, score the signal on site, and choose the sensor position with confidence before the truck leaves.
Install LoRaWAN sensors with confidence.
Loptimizer helps field teams choose better sensor locations, avoid weak radio links, and reduce battery-draining installations before the truck leaves the site.
- Make installation decisions from measured field data, not coverage guesses
- Spot weak locations before they become support tickets
- Show customers a clear test result at the installation point
- Reduce battery risk before the sensor goes into production
Optimize battery life before deployment
Compare radio settings and locations instantly to expose battery-draining choices before they become expensive maintenance visits.
Built for fast mobile decisions
Use a phone or large tablet screen, clear test scoring, and guided results so every installer can make the right call without expert guesswork.
A new way to field test LoRaWAN with a full mobile screen
Loptimizer moves field testing out of tiny device menus and onto a phone or tablet screen. The mobile app gives installers a clear workspace for setup, results, photos, and decisions, while the Pocket Tester hardware performs the LoRaWAN measurements at the installation point.
Bluetooth
LoRaWAN
Loptimizer mobile app
Connects over Bluetooth to configure the tester, start LinkCheck and optimization campaigns, compare results, and document the best settings.
Pocket Tester hardware
Carries the LoRaWAN radio, built-in status screen, field test controls, and installation-ready signal checks. It measures the LoRaWAN field link while Bluetooth keeps the mobile workflow fast and local.
LoRaWAN gateway
Receives the Pocket Tester LoRaWAN signal so installers can validate gateway reach, reception quality, redundancy, and reliability at the sensor location.
Customer feedback
Trusted by teams that need proof before every LoRaWAN install
Indoor
Map LoRaWAN coverage inside your building
Keep indoor tests in context with a floor plan or workspace photo. Place each test point on the image to see where your LoRaWAN installation has been checked.
- Organize indoor tests by floor and workspace
- Use a floor plan or photo as your visual reference
- Mark tested locations directly on the image
- Keep location scores together for a clear installation record
Outdoor testing
See LoRaWAN coverage as you move
Test candidate sensor locations outdoors and follow your results on the map. Color-coded test points help you spot strong links and weak areas along your route.
- Run individual tests or track measurements along a route
- Compare scored test points directly on the map
- Inspect gateway and device reception, SNR, and RSSI
- Find outdoor locations with a reliable LoRaWAN link
Easy to use
Scored LoRaWAN field testing
The LinkCheck workflow turns field signal measurements into simple scores so installers can understand results quickly at the exact sensor location.
- Run single tests or real-time campaigns
- Measure RSSI, SNR, gateway reception, redundancy, and reliability
- Review global and link scores that summarize reception, SNR, redundancy, and reliability
- Save and share scored test results with installation photos
Battery optimization
Reduce battery drain before it becomes a maintenance problem
Poor placement forces LoRaWAN devices to spend more energy per transmission. Loptimizer highlights the best location and configuration so teams can reduce truck rolls and extend sensor lifetime.
- Compare energy per transmission across tested locations
- Identify the lowest-power reliable DR and TX power settings
- Estimate additional battery life for different transmission frequencies
- Document the selected configuration for future support

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Loptimizer?
Loptimizer combines the mobile app with Pocket Tester hardware connected over Bluetooth to test LoRaWAN signal quality in the field. The optional web app adds centralized management of your tests and devices, along with advanced features.
What is LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN is a wireless networking protocol that connects low-power IoT devices over long distances using LoRa radio technology. Gateways relay device messages to a network server, which forwards data to applications. Learn more in the Device Explorer LoRaWAN guide.
What LoRaWAN regions are supported?
Loptimizer supports the following LoRaWAN regions: US915, AU915, KR920, AS923, EU868, RU864, and IN865. Check the frequency plan used in your country with the Device Explorer country reference.
How can Loptimizer benefit my business?
Loptimizer helps system integrators and end customers deploy LoRaWAN projects with confidence. By validating coverage, comparing sensor locations, and identifying suitable radio settings before installation, your team can reduce deployment risk, avoid unnecessary site visits, and make informed trade-offs between connectivity and battery life. System integrators can support customer recommendations and project handovers with measured results; end customers gain clearer evidence for installation decisions and a stronger foundation for reliable, cost-effective IoT operations.
Can Loptimizer perform link tests?
Yes. Loptimizer includes LinkCheck tests for link quality and optimization campaigns that compare data rate and transmit power combinations.
Why does placement affect battery life?
When LoRaWAN signal quality is weak, devices may need higher transmit power, lower data rates, longer airtime, or repeated transmissions. That increases energy per message.
