Frequently asked questions

What is a LoRa gateway

A LoRa gateway is a device that enables long-range, low-power wireless communication between sensors and a central system. It is typically used in remote or large-scale deployments, allowing data from sensors to be transmitted over long distances without the need for cellular or Wi-Fi networks.

Where can I use the 4G rugged gateway?

The 4G gateway is suitable for all regions, with or without 4G coverage. It’s ideal for outdoor construction sites, tailings dams, bridges, buildings, and railway tracks.

Can the 4G gateway be used in remote areas without 4G coverage?

Yes, the 4G gateways include 3G/2G fallback, so they can function in remote locations without internet connection.

Can I connect the 4G gateway to a local power source, such as solar panels?

Yes, the 4G gateway can be connected to solar panels or wind turbines. Reach out to us to discuss your project requirements and get tailored recommendations.



What kind of redundancy can I get with the 4G Gateway

Depending if you choose edge or cloud deployments, you will get different levels of redundancy. Edge gateways allow a gateway to act as a secondary gateway in case connectivity is lost in the primary one. Cloud gateways are more robust since they establish bidirectional communications to ensure data communications at all times.

What they say about us

Discover how Worldsensing has made a positive impact, providing reliable solutions and exceptional support.

An important point in the project was the concrete anti-vandalism protection used to guarantee the safety of the equipment. Even with this protection, the system managed to transmit to the gateway more than 2 kilometers away. Read success story

Rodrigo Raposo
Geotechnical Engineer, D.Sc and Consultant, RD&I, 3Geo Tecnologia

In spite of being installed in boreholes with steel covers, or behind the body of the dam with no line of sight to the gateway, the Worldsensing nodes are able to transmit data without the need for repeaters. Read success story

Ludek Novosad
Senior Instrumentation Engineer, Geomonitoring

We've had a good relationship with Worldsensing for a number of years and we are one of their early adopters. We've really seen the value in a wireless solution. The Modbus protocol implementation on the gateway allows for seamless integration to existing communication infrastructure. This also isolates access to the data and reduces the impact of network outage in the area. Read success story

Ben Scott
Technical Manager, Geomotion

We are very pleased with the Worldsensing system. Data loggers are available for most types of sensors and mounting and configuration are easy and fast. One has full control over the gateways via the Worldsensing data server and data transfer also works great. In addition, Wordsensing offers very good technical support. Read success story

Øyvind Klevar
Board Member, Geonor

One of the Worldsensing gateways that we first installed has kept on monitoring for years, without any work done on it. I haven’t had to check that gateway since I installed it. This kind of reliability is one of the biggest advantages of this system. Read success story

Rodrigo Vicencio
Chief Operating Officer, Geosinergia

The Worldsensing repeater has demonstrated very good capabilities in this demo. You could have the greatest instrumentation in the world, but at the end of the day if you don’t get that data, you can’t make timely decisions and you have wasted company money. Read success story

Peter Lausch
Chief Operating Officer, Mine Design Technologies (MDT)

Using Worldsensing loggers and gateways has enabled us to increase the size and quality of our continuous ground monitoring network throughout the mine, while still remaining efficient about time and resources required.

Darren Neely
Senior Rock Mechanics Engineer, Vascoy Potash, Nutrien

Worldsensing is very easy to use. The most important benefit is the wireless connection, in combination with the long range and the low-power consumption.
