LoRaWAN Gateways
To support remotely located environmental monitoring installations, ICT International have a range of pre-configured LoRaWAN gateways. These are typically configured to relay information to 'The Things Network' or other networks subject to requirements.
The range includes the following gateways:
The Nexus8 Gateway

- Latest Model
The 8-channel low-power long-range LoRa® ISM-band radio is suitable for coordinating thousands of IoT devices within a radius of up to 25 km. Multiple gateways can be effectively co-located to create gateway installations of 16 or more channels. Rural or difficult urban deployment is straight-forward using solar and LTE, and can provide Internet connectivity to other devices via Ethernet. The built-in multi-constellation GNSS can accurately locate the gateway and assists with gateway time synchronisation and radio transmit frequency calibration. The Embedded Linux operating system which powers the gateway is fully open to the user, enabling custom configuration and application installation. Out-of-the-box support for multiple major LoRaWAN™ networks makes setup a breeze, and secure cryptographic storage means nobody can infiltrate your network—even if they gain physical control. The LoRa® radio is fully configurable and supports the creation of custom LoRa® and FSK protocols or running a local closed-loop LoRaWAN™ server without Internet connectivity required.
