Laird Sentrius™ RG186 LoRaWAN Gateway

Laird's Sentrius RG186 is an easy to configure and high performance LoRaWAN gateway. Connect Ethernet and power and you're ready to set up your gateway with an easy to use web interface, as simple as installing a broadband router.

Part of Laird's RG1xx series, the RG186 is the 868MHz variant. Based on the Semtech's SX1301/SX1257 LoRa chipset, the Sentrius gateway features Ethernet and dual-band Wi-Fi backhaul, and Bluetooth v4.0 (BLE and Classic) for maximum flexibility.

The Sentrius RG186 is compatible with any LoRaWAN network server, including the Things Network, ChirpStack, Senet and Loriot, and the latest firmware now supports Basic Station, the new standard for LoRaWAN gateway connectivity. Also supported is TR-069 remote management for large rollouts of managed gateways.
