MKGW3 Indoor PoE Gateway

MKGW3 is a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to PoE (Power over Ethernet) Gateway. With support for BLE 5.0, 2.4GHz WiFi, and Ethernet, the indoor PoE gateway offers both wireless and wired connectivity options. Seamlessly connect to your cloud server via MQTT protocol.

Acting as a vital data bridge between your beacon and cloud server, MKGW3 efficiently gathers nearby beacon advertising data, transmitting it to your server via WIFI or Ethernet. Plus, enjoy two-way communication with Beacon devices for remote management from the cloud. Experience cost-effective, real-time location services, condition monitoring, asset tracking, and personal safety management like never before.

Highlights

Flexible dual wireless and wired connectivity

The MKGW3 indoor PoE gateway supports 2.4GHz WiFi and BLE 5.0, providing two wireless options to connect to the cloud server. It also has an Ethernet port for wired connection. Dual wireless and wired options provide redundancy if one method fails.

Scalable architecture through POE cascading

By integrating a POE port, up to 5 gateways can be cascaded to greatly expand network coverage and scalability. Multiple cascaded gateways provide a scalable architecture that relays data from numerous beacons to the cloud efficiently via MQTT protocol.

Remote beacon management from the cloud

The bi-directional communication implements full control and monitoring of beacons remotely from the cloud server. Beacons can be remotely configured, controlled, monitored from the cloud server. No need for physical access to beacons for management. This enables centralized management.
