The ideal Smart Building & Smart Metering Gateway
CloudGate nano was created with smart buildings in mind. The use of a LTE Cat M1/NB1 modem with high-power chipset ensuring better indoor coverage compared to traditional 2G/3G/4G modems, allows to connect devices deep inside buildings. By adding a Modbus and M-Bus connector it is possible to connect electricity, gas, water or calorie meters but also wired sensors that need to send data to a Cloud platform.
With the powerful LuvitRED program on CloudGate it is very straightforward to create the required data flow on the gateway or to perform edge processing on the data before it is sent to the Cloud. Data reduction through edge processing is vital in case of low bandwith (and higher cost per bit) protocols such as CAT-M or NB-IoT to improve data performance and reduce connectivity cost.
