Gateway Bolt
Solar-powered LoRa to 4G and Wi-Fi gateway that goes where there is no power outlet.
- The problem
- A gateway has to sit where the sensors are — and that is rarely next to a power outlet.
- The solution
- A LoRa to 4G and Wi-Fi gateway in which KIWI, with impedance matching and MPPT, gets the most out of a small solar panel.
- The result
- A gateway that runs on a small solar panel and sends data to the cloud over Wi-Fi and 4G, with no power line.
What KIWI does here
- Energy source
- Light (small solar panel)
- What KIWI adds
- Impedance matching + MPPT
- Communication
- Wi-Fi and 4G to the cloud
The same energy management as in our lighting: impedance matching plus MPPT raise the share of solar energy that reaches the battery.
That lets the gateway run on a small solar panel in many applications, while it forwards the data to the cloud over Wi-Fi and 4G.
