Edge Lite
Indoor LoRaWAN® Gateway
Edge Lite is an 8-channel indoor LoRaWAN gateway for commercial buildings. It receives data from LoRaWAN sensors in range and sends it to the cloud over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or LTE. A built-in network server and an MQTT bridge with TLS encryption pass the data to BuildOT One for dashboards, alerts and reports.

Edge Lite is an ideal indoor LoRaWAN product for IoT commercial deployment. With its industrial-grade components, it achieves a high standard of reliability.
Supports up to 8 LoRa channels, multi-backhaul with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity. Optionally there is a dedicated port for different power options, solar panels, and batteries. With its new enclosure design, it allows the LTE and Wi-Fi antennas to be inside the enclosure.
The gateway provides a solid out-of-the-box experience for quick deployment. Additionally, since its software and UI sit on top of OpenWRT it is perfect for the development of custom applications (via the open SDK).
Thus, the EDGE lite is suited for any use case scenario, be it rapid deployment or customization with regard to UI and functionality
