Browan Femto LoRaWAN Gateway

Browan's Femto indoor LoRaWAN gateway is perfect for rolling out your network in smart buildings, offices and homes. It's compact and looks at home in an office environment, but packs good performance thanks to its external antenna.

The Femto gateway has Ethernet backhaul, but has an integrated WiFi access point in addition to the LoRaWAN concentrator. This means the unit can provide LoRaWAN and 2.4GHz WiFi connectivity, giving coverage for all your IoT devices. Note: the gateway uses Ethernet for backhaul and doesn't connect to existing WiFi networks for network connectivity.

Configuration is carried out via the Femto's web interface, available on its WiFi network. The gateway supports the standard Semtech Packet Forwarder protocol, so it's compatible with all major LoRaWAN networks. Use it on The Things Network, or your private TTI instance, Loriot, Amazon or any other network.

Femto is a great value gateway, it's simple to configure and deploy, making it idea for large rollouts.

The Femto can run as a legacy packet forwarder, or with new Basics Station firmware. Note: Once you upgrade to Basics Station you cannot downgrade to packet forwarder, so be sure which protocol support you need before upgrading!
