LoRa Gateway

A gateway that watches local LoRa traffic and forwards what the rules select to LoRaWAN, satellite, mobile data or SMS.

From a local LoRa network to the outside world

A gateway that sits between your local LoRa radios and the outside world, applying rules and forwarding what you have asked for.

Overview

A local LoRa band can be busy, with dozens of sensors reporting temperatures, tank levels, gate states and soil moisture every few minutes. You rarely want all of that going out over a satellite link that charges per byte. The gateway watches every packet and forwards what your rules select: for example a daily aggregate over Iridium at 09:00, an SMS if a pump fails, or a live mobile-data dashboard for the operator on the hill.

What it does

Multi-transport backhaul

Forward traffic over LoRaWAN to a remote site, over Iridium / LEO satellite when there is no tower in sight, over LTE mobile data, or as SMS alerts, queuing and transmitting as each link allows.

Rules engine

Define what leaves the site and when (thresholds, schedules, aggregates and alerts) so the expensive links carry only the data you need.

MeshCore relay

Bridge a local network into a wider MeshCore mesh for coverage around obstacles and across distance, with multi-radio setups where needed.

Remote access tunnel

Reach the gateway and the devices behind it from anywhere, securely, for configuration and diagnostics, without driving out to the site.
