Tektelic Kona Macro Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway

Tektelic's Macro is an enterprise class EU868 LoRaWAN gateway, equally at home in single unit deployments or city-scale LoRa networks.

The Macro is designed to be very compact and lightweight and is targeted at outdoor installations which dictate a small form factor and low power consumption. To minimise cost and installation complexity the gateway is designed with internal antennas for the optional 3G/4G modem and for the GPS receiver.

There is a geolocation enabled version of the Tektelic Macro gateway, which enables position triangulation of LoRaWAN devices. This version includes extra hardware to enable processing of the fine timestamps, this data can be pushed to Tektelic's location API, or you can integrate with your own backend.

The gateway is Powered-over-Ethernet, or by a 48VDC supply, and you can pair this gateway up with one of our outdoor antennae - just choose your preferred option from this page.

Tektelic gateways feature superb integrated band filters that give the best possible LoRaWAN performance by rejecting out-of-band interference. Combined with the robust mechanical design and reliable software this makes the Macro a true carrier-grade gateway.
