Setu X1
Explore the highlights
Listens on eight uplink channels at once, so a fleet of 2,000+ sensors across a building shares one gateway without queueing.
Transmits at up to 27 dBm — enough for a whole facility from one indoor unit, with our field tests reaching around 2 km through built-up sites.
With the optional PoE Ethernet, the network cable is the power cable. Mount it, plug it in, done — about 1 W average draw.
Forwards traffic over MQTT or HTTPS to the network server you already run — no lock-in to ours.
A built-in supercapacitor carries the gateway through short outages of around 20 seconds, so brief flickers never drop your fleet.
Runs LoRaWAN v1.0.4 in all three device classes, so scheduled downlinks and always-listening actuators work — not just uplink-only sensors.
If the wired link drops, it falls back to Wi-Fi or 4G on its own. The fleet stays online instead of waiting for someone to notice.
Rated for plant rooms, risers and unconditioned warehouse space, so it does not need a climate-controlled cabinet to stay in spec.
Firmware and configuration push over the air, so gateways across multiple sites move to a new build without a site visit.
In plain terms
What Is an Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway?
The short answer
An indoor LoRaWAN gateway is the receiver that sits inside a building, listens for the radio packets sent by LoRaWAN® sensors and forwards them to a network server over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G. One gateway serves many sensors at once, so a factory floor, warehouse or office block can be monitored without running a cable to each device.

Setu X1
The Setu X1 is an 8-channel indoor gateway that can also be its own network server. ChirpStack and Node-RED run on the gateway itself, so a private LoRaWAN® network needs no cloud, and it still forwards to any server you already run.
Eight uplink channels received in parallel and one downlink channel, with dynamic data-rate adaptation.
Transmits at up to 27 dBm and receives down to −139 dBm at SF12 on a 125 kHz bandwidth.
Works with LoRaWAN® Class A, B and C devices on bands including IN865, EU868 and US915.
Reaches the network server over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G LTE, with the Wi-Fi and cellular antennas inside the enclosure.
Runs OpenWRT Linux with a built-in ChirpStack network server, UDP and ChirpStack MQTT forwarders, and Node-RED.
A quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 with 512 MB of memory and 8 GB of eMMC storage handles the traffic.
For masts and rooftops, the MacLink Gen-2 is the IP67 outdoor counterpart to this indoor unit.
