MultiTech MultiConnect Conduit MTCDT programmable LoRa gateway for the IoT

Click2Contact

The MultiConnect Conduit MTCDT is a programmable industrial-grade IoT gateway embedded with a cellular LTE/3G option for Semtech LoRa-based wireless sensor networks. The product also features the Linux development platform and Node-RED development platform option.

The device is a configurable, manageable and scalable communication gateway for realising IoT applications. It is not a limited gateway for cellular connection, as developers could embed ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CAN, GPS or other technologies into the two accessories slots. By inserting two LoRa cards inside the gateway, developers could extend the LoRa infrastructure network for their applications.

LoRa technology is said to enable 10 times greater range than competing systems and the capacity to connect tens of thousands of nodes to a single gateway in a star architecture while maintaining low power consumption for multiyear battery operation. This combination of benefits enables IoT applications for smart cities, smart environments and other M2M applications.
