TEKTELIC Kona Micro LoRaWAN Gateway - Cellular EU868 with Backup Battery

The Kona Micro is a small but powerful LoRaWAN gateway. This gateway is designed for enterprise and industrial use, whether your application is in smart buildings or industrial monitoring, this gateway gives highly reliable LoRaWAN network service.

This version of Kona Micro features both 3G/4G and Ethernet connectivity. Simply add your own SIM card, or choose our network service option, and the unit can use the mobile network exclusively, or as a fall back when the Ethernet network is unavailable.

The Kona Micro features a battery backup, this allows the gateway to run for four hours without mains power. Combined with 3G/4G networking and you have a highly resilient LoRaWAN network.

Micro runs a custom Linux OS, so it includes useful features like OpenVPN support. The gateway also supports over-the-air firmware updates, using a robust system that allows for rollbacks.

Tektelic gateways can be configured to run on public LoRaWAN networks, like the Things Network, or private networks including LORIOT and The Things Industries private instances.
