Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway for the Internet of Things

Industrial LoRaWAN Gateway for outdoor use.

The new UG87 from ICP Deutschland, provider of industrial computer products, features IP67 all-round protection and up to 16 simultaneous channels. This enables the gateway to be used outdoors and to receive data from Class A and Class C devices within a range of max. 10 km and to pass it on to data centers. Inside, a 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 operates with 800 MHz clock rate.

The UG87 is equipped with 512MB DDR RAM and 8 GB eMMC memory and has an M.2 slot to expand the memory with SATA based SSDs. The network port supports 10/100/1000 Base-T and is PoE capable.

As a powered device, the UG87 consumes a maximum of 8.2 watts. If no PoE voltage is available, 9~48 VDC or 220 VAC versions are available. GPS for localization and high-precision time synchronization are available as standard.

Optionally, the UG87 offers the option of retrofitting mobile radio according to 3G/4G LTE standard and Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac. The UG87 supports a variety of network protocols such as MQTT, TCP, UDP, VPN tunnels such as OpenVPN, DMVPN, access authentication such as CHAP, PAP, firewall functionality and management options.
