Quick Start - Treon Gateway

Treon Gateway

System description

Overview

When there is a need for high density of connected devices, a mesh network is the perfect solution for connectivity. Treon Gateway connects a mesh of a few to hundreds of wire- less sensor devices to a cloud. It exchanges data with the mesh network and can process, store and send data to cloud backends.

The Treon Gateway can be connected to the internet over a wired Ethernet connection or wirelessly over a Wi-Fi or Cellular (NB-IoT, CatM1 or 2G) connection.

Advanced users can extend the Gateway platform by adding new supported data formats, cloud platforms or deploy edge computing applications.

This will not reset the gateway to the original configuration you received it in, but it will delete all of your user-specific data. The factory reset is intended to delete all of your data at the gateway’s end-of-life so you can dispose of it securely. Read more here.

The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.

The crossed-out wheelie-bin symbol on your product, battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic products and batteries must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste: take them for recycling. For info on your nearest recycling point, check with your local waste authority.
