Automatic signal tester
Use the Loptimizer unit with its built-in status screen to run automated field signal checks and capture clear installation results.
LoRaWAN field testing that finds the lowest-power reliable setup.
Loptimizer connects to a LoRaWAN test device over Bluetooth, shows its ready status on the built-in screen, runs field link checks, and compares data rate and transmit power combinations so installers know where to place sensors and how to reduce battery consumption.
- Check device status directly on the built-in screen before running field tests
- Test LoRaWAN reception, gateway SNR, redundancy, and reliability in the field
- Compare DR and TX power combinations before installing a sensor
- Estimate battery impact from placement and transmission settings
Easy mobile workflow
Connect the mobile app over Bluetooth, run tests on site, and read results without extra tools.
Energy comparison
Compare best and worst locations to quantify the battery life penalty of poor radio conditions.
Field tester
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 is a LoRaWAN signal tester and optimizer. The mobile app connects to LoRaWAN test hardware over Bluetooth, while the device screen shows readiness and local status before tests.
What LoRaWAN regions are supported?
Loptimizer supports the following LoRaWAN regions: US915, AU915, KR920, AS923, EU868, RU864, and IN865.
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.
