MKGW4 Outdoor Cellular Gateway

The MKGW4 is an advanced Bluetooth Outdoor Cellular Gateway with GNSS and LBS fusion positioning. The gateway is available in USB-powered and vehicle DC-powered versions, 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 GNSS technology locates MKGW4 and reports its location to the cloud, making transportation routes visible and controllable.

Highlights

MKGW4 collecting fleet data and sending it to Internet via various cellular networks

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.
