FAQ's
Questions
Answers
What is an IoT Gateway?
To put it simply, an IoT gateway is a physical device, software program or virtual platform that connects sensors, controllers, IoT modules, and smart devices to the cloud.
Gateways act as a network portal giving wireless access to IoT devices so they can communicate through the internet.
Rather than just being a simple router, IoT gateways are far more intelligent, handling both inbound and outbound traffic. When data is sent outbound it connects to a gateway which then forwards these messages to the cloud, while inbound traffic is used for updating operating systems, such as firmware.
Can I use my own my own sensors to connect with TekTelic gateways?
How do I update the software (BSP) on my gateway?
Absolutely, there are thousands of instances where customers use their own end devices and just connect them to KONA Gateways, leading to complete control and customisation of your LoRaWAN® solution.
The software on your gateway can be easily updated using the Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) features of the Kona Network Server or OAM Server.
