VoBo Endpoints A VoBo™ is an industrial grade endpoint that enables almost any sensor to be used for industrial LoRaWAN® solutions.
The VoBo is a battery powered bridge device that transforms your favorite instrumentation into wireless transmitters, feeding data to your network.
Make wired sensors that you already trust, meet your specifications, and you already have, wireless sensors.
No longer restricted to limited and expensive wireless sensors
Class 1 Division 2 hazardous area certified
How it Works
The VoBo:
1. Powers sensor to take a measurement
2. Receives the sensor output signal
3. Processes the signal into a meaningful value
4. Converts it to a LoRaWAN payload
5. Transmits the data to your LoRaWAN network using the LoRa radio frequency standard
COMPATIBLE SENSOR OUTPUTS
A single VoBo can accept the input from several different sensors, of different output protocols, and efficiently transmit their payloads.
The VoBo accepts sensor outputs such as:
- 4-20 mA loop and externally powered sensors
- 0-5 and 0-10 V voltage sensors
- Dry contact and voltage switches
- Modbus RTU devices
- Thermocouples
- Most other sensors can be read with the addition of an interface
- Additional sensor input protocols, millivolt and Hart/4-20mA are coming in 2024

VOLLEY BOAST PARTNERS, DISTRIBUTORS, & INTEGRATORS
The VoBo utilizes LoRa, a long-range, low power, radio technology used in LoRaWAN networks. These networks are very cost-effective to deploy and scalable. The VoBo further reduces costs in many cases by eliminating cabling requirements for communications and power to the measurement points. The standards for LoRa and LoRaWAN are overseen by the LoRa Alliance. Volley Boast is a member of the LoRa Alliance. Additional information on LoRa and LoRaWAN can be found at lora-alliance.org.
