Industrial LoRaWAN Wireless Gateway with 5-Port 10/100/1000T

» LCG-300W

Built on the Long-range and Low-power Platform

PLANET LCG-300W is an all-in-one industrial-grade LoRaWAN gateway with reliable connectivity for IoT deployments. With LoRaWAN protocol support, it helps to bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network. The LoRa wireless allows sensors to transmit data over extremely long ranges with low power consumption. The LCG-300W is fully compatible with LoRaWAN protocol and supports connection with up to 300 end-nodes. It also provides pre-configured standard LoRaWAN frequency bands for different countries. PLANET LCG-300W is a best choice to help you to promote the implementation of AIoT network.

 

All-in-One LoRaWAN Gateway with Wi-Fi 6 Performance

The LCG-300W features five Ethernet ports (4 LANs and 1 WAN), serial port (RS-485), wireless capability of 802.11ax and DI and DO interfaces designed in a compact yet rugged metal case. The LCG-300W also features several main categories across your industrial network deployments:

  • Dual band wireless capability (2.4GHz and 5GHz)
  • SSL VPN and robust hybrid VPN (IPSec/PPTP/L2TP over IPSec)
  • Cybersecurity and SPI firewall security protection
  • Easy management with setup wizard, DHCP server and dashboard

 

 

LoRaWAN Compatibility 

LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide area networking protocol built on top of the LoRa radio modulation technique. LoRaWAN networks and devices such as sensor and gateway allow public or private network to connect multiple applications such as IoT, M2M, smart city, sensor network, and industrial automation applications in the same space. The LCG-300W is LoRaWAN compatible and make sure it works well with LoRa sensor without any propblem.

 

Wireless 11ax Brings Excellent Data Link Speed

The LCG-300W is designed with high power amplifier and 2 highly-sensitive antennas which provide stronger signal and excellent coverage even in the wide-ranging or bad environment. With adjustable transmit power option, the administrator can flexibly reduce or increase the output power for various environments, thus reducing interference to achieve maximum performance. Equipped with the next-generation Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless network standard, the total bandwidth reaches 1800Mbps, and the 2-stream transmission technology improves the transmission efficiency of multiple devices, making AR/VR/IoT applications smoother. The IEEE 802.11ax also optimizes MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO) mechanism to serve multiple devices simultaneously.

 

Enhance IoT Efficiency with LCG-300 Series

The LCG-300 series gateways support the expanding LoRa IoT ecosystem by converting sensor data into easily readable JSON format. This feature allows sensor data to be read without the need for external applications to parse the data, thus significantly simplifying the data integration process and reducing the time required to deploy IoT solutions.

 

Additionally, the built-in MQTT broker in the LCG-300 series facilitates data parsing and collection, enabling users to obtain data quickly and conveniently. This is possible both through the internal MQTT broker and an external MQTT broker. This functionality helps reduce the costs associated with building network servers and minimizes the complexity of the network architecture.

 

Excellent Ability in Threat Defense

The LCG-300W has built-in SPI (stateful packet inspection) firewall and DoS/DDoS attack mitigation functions to provide high efficiency and extensive protection for your network. Thus, virtual server and DMZ functions can let you set up servers in the Intranet and still provide services to the Internet users.

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The cybersecurity feature included to protect the switch management in a mission-critical network virtually needs no effort and cost to install. For efficient management, the LCG-300W is equipped with HTTPS web and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in web-based management interface, the LCG-300W offers an easy-to-use, platform independent management and configuration facility. The LCG-300W supports SNMP and it can be managed via any management software based on the standard SNMP protocol.

LoRa Communication Solution

PLANET LCG-300W LoRa gateway supports LoRa and LoRaWAN standard. Transceivers configured with LoRa devices like CO2 and water sensors are embedded into end-nodes, or sensor devices that capture and transmit data to gateways over distances through wireless network. The LCG-300W can send information via Ethernet to the Network Server, which is responsible for network management functions that distribute information to each application accordingly.
