Explore the highlights

An 8-channel SX1303 concentrator carries 2000+ LoRaWAN devices concurrently, with an ARM Cortex-A7 handling the traffic — one gateway for an entire site.
Transmits at up to 27 dBm; our own open-terrain range test reached 8 km to a sensor at ground level — the figure our calculators are calibrated to.
Dual-SIM 4G LTE, PoE Ethernet and Wi-Fi with automatic failover — if one path drops, your sensor data keeps flowing on the next.
The network server and Node-RED dashboards run on the gateway itself — deploy a fully private LoRaWAN network with no cloud dependency.
A weather-resistant aluminium enclosure engineered for masts and rooftops — heat, rain and dust included.
Power over Ethernet takes data and power up in a single run, with a supercapacitor riding through short power blips.
Standard LoRaWAN, so it forwards to the network server you already run — public or private.
In plain terms
What Is an Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway?
The short answer
An outdoor LoRaWAN gateway is a weatherproof receiver, usually mounted on a mast or rooftop, that picks up the radio packets from LoRaWAN® sensors across a wide area and forwards them to a network server over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G. Because one gateway serves sensors kilometres away, a whole plant, campus or town can be covered from a single mounting point.

MacLink Gen-2
The MacLink Gen-2 is an 8-channel IP67 gateway with the network server on board. ChirpStack and Node-RED run on the gateway, so a fully private LoRaWAN® network works without the internet, and dual-SIM 4G, PoE Ethernet and Wi-Fi give it three ways back to your platform.
Eight uplink channels received in parallel and one downlink channel, enough for 2000+ LoRaWAN® devices on one gateway.
Transmits at up to 27 dBm and receives down to −139 dBm at SF12 on a 125 kHz bandwidth.
Dual-SIM 4G LTE, PoE Ethernet and Wi-Fi, with automatic failover between them.
Runs OpenWRT Linux with a built-in ChirpStack network server, UDP and ChirpStack MQTT forwarders, and Node-RED dashboards.
A quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 with 512 MB of memory and 8 GB of eMMC storage handles the traffic.
An IP67 enclosure with an aluminium housing, for pole or wall mounting.
Range depends on antenna height and terrain. In our own open-terrain test the MacLink Gen-2 reached 8 km to a sensor at ground level; expect 2–5 km in a built-up area.
