Edge Pro Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway
8 or 16 channel Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway
Edge Pro is an outdoor LoRaWAN gateway with 8 or 16 channels in an IP67 enclosure for pole or wall mounting. It collects data from LoRaWAN sensors across a site and sends it over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or optional LTE. A built-in network server and MQTT bridge deliver the data to BuildOT One.
Supplied for building projects and made to order. Priced per project, including devices, gateways and setup.

Edge Pro is an ideal product for IoT commercial deployment. With its industrial-grade components, it achieves a high standard of reliability.
Supports up to 16 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, Wi-Fi and GPS antennas to be inside the enclosure.
The gateway firmware is based on the latest OpenWRT kernel and accommodates the latest security updates like IPv6, OpenSSL 1.1 support, multiple accounts access, and more. The web UI has a fresh new look, with more user-friendly information tooltips.
Thus, the EDGE PRO is suited for any use case scenario, be it rapid deployment or customization with regard to UI and functionality.
