| Issue | Solution |
| Sensors scattered over a large area | Use of the LoRaWan protocol |
| Cloud computing costs too high | Data preprocessing |
| Cloud software or SaaS | Relay gateway with on-site network |
| Network security constraints | Cellular gateway isolated from the network |
- Acquisition modules
- Sensors
- Modbus servers (TCP or RTU thanks to its serial ports)
- Database...
Its configuration is done via the embedded software EdgeLink. Depending on the use cases, it can be configured in two ways:
- As a client: the gateway periodically queries other devices
- As a server: Other devices write directly into the gateway's memory
Once the data retrieval is completed, it has a wide range of connectors to send data to other systems:
- Standard MQTT connector
- Forwarding via Modbus
- Connector to AWS cloud, Azure, Google Cloud IoT Core
- Thingsboard
- ...
The gateway's buffer memory prevents saturating the network or overloading the usage quotas of cloud software. It is possible to send data periodically in batch form.
💡 This gateway range also exists in a cellular version. A SIM card can be integrated into the device to provide an autonomous internet connection.
Just like the ECU range, the Wise-6610 gateway is specially designed to operate in industrial environments.
It shares many similarities with the ECU-1XXX range, but additionally allows communication with LoRaWan devices. However, unlike the ECU range, this gateway does not have serial ports, making direct communication via RS-485 impossible.
The LoRaWan protocol is based on a radio network (LoRa) and enables long-distance communication between two objects, with very low energy consumption.
The choice to use the LoRaWan protocol is often the result of the following constraints:
| Issue | Example |
| Energy consumption | Security systems, unavailable power supplies |
| Distances of devices | Outdoor sites, agricultural operations, ... |
|
Periodic and infrequent measurements |
Cold chain verification, electric current intensity... |
| Non-intrusive installation | Opening toroidal ammeter sensor, magnetic mount vibration sensor... |
This gateway allows for the very simple deployment of a private LoRaWan network, with no annual subscription required. Discover our private/public LoRaWan comparison to learn more.
