Together with The Things Industries we are combining LTE-M and LoRaWAN capabilities to provide an out-of-the-box connectivity solution allowing for easy to setup and secure device-to-cloud communication.

LTE-M features very good signal penetration, well-suited for standalone, managed gateways inside, for example, smart buildings. The solution will therefore start with a pre-configured LoRaWAN gateway from Mikrotik, connected over a LTE-M backhaul to LoRa devices and The Things Industry platform.

Use of LTE-M reduces costs compared to LTE because of more affordable hardware, and lower usage costs. Ease of use for the customer is guaranteed through no-touch provisioning of gateways, as they come pre-registered and only need powering up when installed. The gateway optionally supports LoRa 2.4GHz for global deployments.

To support IoT deployments in Germany and the Netherlands, an Early Access offer will be launched with LTE-M backhaul for solution providers and system integrators - learn more and get started 👈
