MKGW4 Outdoor Cellular Gateway

The MKGW4 is an advanced Bluetooth Outdoor Cellular Gateway with GPS and LBS fusion positioning. It offers global connectivity through CAT.1/NB-IOT/CAT.M/GSM network. Acting as a data bridge between BLE beacons and the cloud, it collects broadcast data from nearby beacons and uploads it via the Cellular network.

Meanwhile, the integrated GPS technology locates MKGW4 and reports its location to the cloud, making transportation routes visible and controllable. Complemented by a motion sensor, MKGW4 provides an efficient solution for cold chain monitoring, logistics transportation management, school bus locating, and safety systems.

Product Features

> Supports multiple cellular networks including NB-IOT, 4G CAT.1, CAT.M and GSM for global connectivity

Extensive global Cellular network coverage

The MKGW4 outdoor Cellular gateway offers global connectivity for uninterrupted monitoring through cellular networks such as CAT.1. It supports LTE frequency bands covering worldwide regions, enabling maximum coverage across locations.

Integrated GPS&LBS dual-mode positioning

The built-in GPS and LBS fusion positioning enables flexible outdoor asset tracking. Switch between periodic, motion-based, on-demand, and disabled positioning modes to suit your needs. LBS kicks in when GPS is unavailable as a reliable fallback.

Flexible Bluetooth scanning modes

The outdoor Cellular gateway provides both real-time and periodic Bluetooth scanning and reporting to meet diverse data collection needs. Customize scan intervals and select data fields to report. You can also toggle between gateway and tracker-only modes.

Rugged gateway built for outdoor use

With an IP67 rating and offline storage, the outdoor Bluetooth Cellular gateway withstands dust, rain and water exposure. Multiple mounting options like magnets, tape and screws make permanent or temporary installation easy. It operates from a wide 4.8-60V DC voltage range.
