LoRaWAN and IP gateways for site connectivity
A gateway carries device readings from the site to the cloud. LoRaWAN gateways provide connectivity for long-range wireless sensors, while IP gateways support Ethernet and Wi-Fi devices; both gateway types offer Ethernet, Wi-Fi or LTE backhaul options.
Every reading reaches the cloud over an encrypted, authenticated path.
Where gateways go, decided by a radio survey
- High and central
A LoRaWAN gateway mounted where it can hear a building or campus.
- Near wired devices
One IP gateway per network segment, sized to the devices on it.
- Hard to reach meters
A cellular meter reading gateway where LoRaWAN cannot reach.
What the choice of backhaul settles
- Off the corporate network
LTE backhaul keeps sensor traffic away from IT systems where policy requires it.
- Restricted SIM markets
Ethernet or Wi-Fi backhaul where cellular SIMs are limited.
- Coverage gaps
Connection reliability per device shows where a second gateway is needed.
Two gateways and what they serve
| Gateway | Serves | Backhaul |
|---|---|---|
| LoRaWAN gateway | Battery meters, air sensors, trackers, relays and valves. | Ethernet, Wi-Fi or integrated LTE. |
| IP gateway | Plugs into the building network; no radio survey needed. | Integrated LTE. |

Link layer
Radio and local links are encrypted between device and gateway.
Network layer

Common questions
It depends on building materials, floor count and distance between devices. A radio survey sets the number and position before installation. Gateways go high and central so they hear the most devices. See integration partners.
Only if the customer chooses Ethernet or Wi-Fi backhaul. LTE backhaul runs independently of the corporate network, which suits sites whose IT policy keeps sensor traffic off it. See trust and security.
Aqueduct flags the gateway and the devices behind it on their health records. The coverage gap shows next to any analysis that uses that period. Device health shows which gateway to check first. See asset observability.
Yes. A cellular meter reading gateway covers hard to reach meters, such as those in basements, vaults or remote yards, and sends their readings to Aqueduct alongside the rest of the site. See water meters.
