LoRaWAN gateways the backbone of your sensor network.
A LoRaWAN gateway is the receiver that collects data from your sensors over long range and backhauls it to your monitoring, so readings from across a site or area arrive in one place. A small number of well-placed gateways can cover a large footprint, forming the backbone of a LoRaWAN network. We survey, design, install and support the gateways so your sensors always have something to talk to.
- Collect sensor data over long range and backhaul it to one place
- Cover a large site or area from just a few gateways
- Backhaul over the connectivity that suits the location
- Surveyed, designed, installed and supported across Ireland

The problem
Sensors are only as useful as the network behind them.
Sensors scattered across a site or region need something to collect their data and carry it back. Without gateways in the right places, readings never reach you, or you end up wiring and powering collection points you cannot justify.
Sensors with nowhere to send data
Deploy sensors without gateways and their readings have nothing to reach.
Dead spots across the site
Gateways in the wrong places leave corners, basements or far fields uncovered.
Wiring collection points is costly
Running power and data to every collection point is expensive or impractical.
Backhaul that does not fit
Getting data from the gateway back to your systems needs the right connectivity for the location.
Guesswork on placement
Without a survey, gateway placement is trial and error and coverage suffers.
No one to run it
Gateways need designing, installing and supporting, not just unboxing.
What a gateway does
The receiver that ties your sensors together.
A gateway listens for your sensors, gathers their readings and passes them on. Get the gateways right and the rest of the network follows.
-
Long-range collection
Gateways gather data from sensors over long distances, so a few units can serve a wide area. Range and battery life depend on the site and sensor type, confirmed at survey.
-
Fewer units, more coverage
Careful placement means a small number of gateways can cover a large site. Range and battery life depend on the site and sensor type, confirmed at survey.
-
Backhaul that suits the site
We connect the gateway back to your monitoring over the connectivity that fits the location, wired or wireless.
-
Sited by survey, not guesswork
We survey the site to place gateways where they give the coverage you need.
-
Installed and configured for you
We handle mounting, powering and configuring the gateways, indoors or out. Hardware is specified for the environment at survey.
-
Managed and monitored
We keep an eye on the gateways so the network stays up and your sensors stay heard. Support terms are agreed as part of your service agreement.

FAQs
LoRaWAN gateways: questions answered.
What is a LoRaWAN gateway?
A gateway is the receiver that collects data from your LoRaWAN sensors over long range and backhauls it to your monitoring.
How many gateways do I need?
Range and battery life depend on the site and sensor type, confirmed at survey.
How far does a gateway reach?
Range and battery life depend on the site and sensor type, confirmed at survey.
How does the data get back to us?
The gateway backhauls readings to your monitoring over the connectivity that suits the site, wired or wireless.
Can gateways go outdoors?
Yes, we place gateways indoors or out to suit the site. Hardware is specified for the environment at survey.
How do we get started?
Request an IoT review using the form and we will survey the site and design the gateway layout.
