Option CloudGate LoRaWan Expansion Card

Option LoRaWAN enables the customer to have an end to end LoRa network using one or more CloudGates without the need to connect to an external LoRaWAN server. Sensor data can be analyzed and reacted to on the CloudGate, forwarded to remote servers and/or exposed using any protocol supported by LuvitRED, for example MODBUS or BACnet.

Option LoRaWAN can also function as a normal LORAWAN gateway connected to external LoRaWAN servers in simple packet forwarder mode. CloudGate offers a choice of 3G/4G, LAN or wireless LAN backhaul with automatic failover.


The LoRaWAN base station expansion card for CloudGate

There is an emerging trend of connecting, monitoring and controlling machines and other ‘things’ in our environment but using wires to do so is often not desirable or even possible. The LoRaWAN expansion card allows the CloudGate gateway to connect to all LoRaWAN wireless sensors.
