In traditional LoRaWAN deployments, Network Server (NS) and IoT platforms are considered essential components. However, this architecture often introduces complexity, higher costs, and longer deployment cycles. With the evolution of integrated gateway technology, it is now possible to embed NS and edge computing capabilities directly into the gateway, enabling a simpler and more efficient deployment

In industrial and energy systems, many sensors still rely on 4-20mA outputs. While reliable, these devices lack wireless connectivity and remote management capabilities. KS31 is a native LoRaWAN acquisition device that supports multi-channel analog input and low-power operation, enabling seamless wireless upgrades without replacing existing equipment. 1. Challenges of 4-20mA Devices in Digital Transformation In

1. The Challenge of Traditional Circuit Breakers In many real-world projects, circuit breakers already support data output, but: The issue is not the device itself, but the lack of a scalable connectivity solution. 2. Solution Architecture The LoRaWAN-based integration enables fast deployment: SZWB1L → RS-485 → KC11 → EdgeBus → LoRaWAN → ThinkLink This architecture

In environments such as data centers, warehouses, electrical rooms, and basements, continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, and water leakage is critical. Failure to detect abnormalities in time can lead to equipment damage or even safety incidents. To address these challenges, native LoRaWAN sensors have become a preferred solution. KS52 is an integrated device that combines

LoRa and LoRaWAN are often confused in IoT applications. LoRa is a physical layer technology that enables long-range, low-power communication, while LoRaWAN is a network protocol that manages device connectivity and data routing. This article explains their differences, network architecture, and how EdgeBus and ThinkLink help integrate traditional devices into modern IoT systems. 1. What

LoRaWAN network deployment is more than connecting devices. It requires careful planning of coverage, frequency bands, capacity, and remote management. This article provides a practical guide based on real-world scenarios, helping businesses build stable, low-power, and scalable IoT networks. 1. Coverage Planning: Theory vs Reality LoRaWAN coverage varies significantly depending on the environment: Field testing

In many industrial and environmental monitoring projects, a large number of RS485-based sensors are already deployed, such as oxygen, temperature, and humidity sensors. The real challenge is not data collection, but: How to integrate these existing sensors into LoRaWAN networks and upper-level systems without replacing them? Taking the RS-O2WS-N01 Oxygen Temperature Humidity Sensor as an
