The TEKTELIC KONA Enterprise Gen2T is a carrier-grade outdoor LoRaWAN gateway with an IP67 rating designed for rooftops, equipment rooms, and other weather-exposed locations. The integrated LoRaWAN network server processes sensor data directly within the device and outputs it natively as BACnet or Modbus objects, allowing building management systems such as Niagara 4 to be integrated without additional middleware. The gateway is available in two versions: a base version with Ethernet-only backhaul, or a version with an additional integrated Cat-6 3G/4G/LTE modem and dual-SIM failover for locations without a reliable network connection. With time-duplex operation on eight receive channels and one transmit channel, as well as AES-128 encryption, the gateway is suitable for large-scale sensor networks in industry, education, and municipal settings.
