DTK7268 Indoor Gateway Data Sheet

Overview

Description
The DTK7268 Indoor gateway is a full 8-channel indoor gateway, based on the LoRaWAN protocol, with built-in
Ethernet connectivity for a straightforward setup. There is an on-board Wi-Fi setup (supporting 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi) that
allows it to be easily configured via the default Wi-Fi AP mode. Additionally, the gateway supports LTE uplink
communication connections (optional).

It also supports MQTT Bridge mode, with the option for TLS authentication.

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is supported to serve cases where wall or ceiling mounting is required without the
need to install additional power lines.

The open-source software for the management and configuration of this gateway device is based on OpenWRT. It
has a built-in LoRa packet forwarder and a graphical user interface, allowing for a quick set-up without giving up
the freedom of a fully customized solution.

DTK7268 also supports the MQTT Bridge function, can use the MQTT integrated to third-party platforms.

DTK7268 is especially suitable for small and medium-sized deployment scenarios in industry applications, saving
the additional cost for server and R&D investment, and has the advantages of high execution efficiency.
