It can run any firmware binary built for Semtechs 1+3 SX1280 gateway reference design while providing more features and significant better performance. The powerful ARM-
Cortex M4 190 MHz MCU can run any standard or proprietary MAC-layer protocol using various combinations of LoRa and other SX1280-supported PHYs like FLRC, G(FSK), ranging, advanced ranging and Time-of-Flight (ToF) localization - both indoor and outdoor. The optionally integrated RF power amplifier provides a maximum transmission output power of up to 20.54dBm. Together with the highly optimized HF paths using low pass and SAW filters the miroEdgeCard 2G4 allows to build highest capacity gateways which can be placed in high-
density urban or long-range rural environments and connect a large variety of sensors to LoRa and proprietary networks. Applications can take advantage of LoRa (long range, robustness against radio noise) and the huge ecosystem of LoRaWAN components and infrastructure like gateways, packet forwarders, network-servers, cloud services and many more. Moreover, existing edge-level network devices can be easily upgraded to act as a 2401MHz-2479MHz LoRa gateway. Any host system capable of USB CDC is supported. Each Gateway module offers three receive channels and a single dedicated transmit channel. This allows to receive data from multiple devices on different channels at the same time. Crystal X300:

This means that any firmware binary running on any gateway card following the reference design will run on miro EdgeCard 2G4 and miro EdgeCard 2G4-PRO as well. Please keep in mind that you will see slightly different RSSI values of received packets compared to the reference design. This is a result of different LNA gains (16 dB vs 11 dB typical) but has no influence at all on the overall RX performance namely sensitivity limits. Any firmware can correct this offset if required.
