Treon Gateway in Protective Enclosure

System description

Overview

When there is a need for high density of connected devices, a mesh network is the perfect solution for connectivity. In a mesh network, devices transmit their own sensor data and act as a relay for other devices. Relays provide the best and most efficient communication path to a gateway.

Treon Gateway connects a mesh of a few to hundreds of wireless devices to a backend. It exchanges data with the mesh network and can process, store and send data to in-premise or cloud backends. 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.

In protective enclosure, you can place Treon Gateway in environments, outdoor or industrial, that require higher degree of water and dust protection.
