MS48-LR - LoRaWAN® to Modbus Gateway for Industrial Integration
Open-source gateway with remote management, integrated LoRaWAN server and IP connectivity
General Description
The MS48-LR is a powerful and flexible LoRaWAN® to Modbus gateway designed to connect a wireless LoRa network to IP networks via Wi-Fi , Ethernet or an optional 4G module . Its open source Debian system allows integrators to access advanced management via web interface, SSH or Wi-Fi, while ensuring high adaptability thanks to configurable regional LoRaWAN settings.
It embeds a local LoRaWAN server (ChirpStack) as well as a Node-Red application server, allowing direct management of sensors and automation scenarios. Thanks to the Modbus slave mode , PLCs can easily read data from LoRaWAN sensors through a familiar interface.
