# Setu SCX Single-Channel Indoor LoRa® Gateway Datasheet

## Product Overview

Setu SCX is a cost‑efficient and compact **single‑channel Indoor LoRa® gateway** designed for small‑scale IoT deployments inside commercial and enterprise environments. Engineered for seamless and reliable wireless coverage in localized spaces, it acts as the perfect network extender for smart buildings and industrial interiors.

With **Wi‑Fi and Cellular backhaul connectivity**, Setu SCX eliminates the need for wired infrastructure—making it ideal for installations in places where Ethernet cabling is not available or practical. The ultra‑low‑power, fanless design ensures silent operation in offices, retail stores, hospitals, hotels, and indoor utility rooms.

Setu SCX supports **AES‑128 encrypted communication**, OTA configuration and monitoring through MQTT / HTTPS secure and scalable network performance.

Whether enabling indoor environmental monitoring, asset tracking, energy management, occupancy sensing, or small‑area automation—**Setu SCX provides a simple, powerful, and plug‑and‑play LoRa® network entry point** for rapid IoT adoption.
