Omega Layer-N Long Range Wireless/Modbus IIoT Ethernet Gateways

GW-001 Series gateways are designed for long range performance and ease of use. They aggregate data from all connected sensors and transmit it to the Layer N Cloud where it can be securely accessed from your PC, tablet or phone.

Long Range

The Wireless Gateways utilize Sub GHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology to ensure robust, long range communications to Layer N Smart Sensors. Transmission ranges of up to 1.2 km can be achieved when the sensor is powered with the standard AA batteries, and transmission ranges of up to 3.2 km can be achieved with a Smart Sensor in range boost mode powered by a standard external 5V USB power supply.²

Plug and Play

The Layer N Gateway is easily paired to Layer N Smart Sensors with the press of a button and will automatically show up on your Layer N Cloud account. Local data logging for your Smart Sensor devices keeps your data secure in the event of a power or network outage. Reports, History, and E-mail alerts from the Layer N Cloud keep you informed on the status of all your vital processes.

Secure

Layer N wireless products are designed with state of the art security features to protect your data with robust AES256 encryption and advanced PKA-EC521bit (NIST) elliptic-curve cryptography to protect your data. The gateway features a Trusted Platform Module secure hardware element which protects the safety of all encryption keys and usesX.509 device certificates for secure communication between the gateway and the Layer N Cloud.

Wireless Standard: GW-001-2

This high performance wireless gateway seamlessly connects to up to 256 long range Layer N Smart Sensor devices. Ethernet connectivity ensures fast, easy connection to the Layer N Cloud. Local access is also available through the built-in web server.

• _{1. Visit Layer N Cloud for subscription options. Level of service varies with subscription tier.}
• _{2. Clear Line of sight. Actual range will vary depending on environment.}
• _{3. 256 sensors are supported at typical update intervals, on the order of 60 minutes, higher data rates or adverse environmental conditions may diminish the number of sensors supported.}

Wireless Pro: GW-001-3

The Wireless Pro adds both Modbus TCP and RTU RS232/RS485 device support and two USB ports to enable local smart probe connections. It also features power over Ethernet (POE) which enables the gateway to be remotely powered.

Wired Standard: GW-001-0

This version is designed specifically for wired applications. It features standard Ethernet connectivity to the Cloud, plus both Modbus RTU RS232/ RS485 and Modbus TCP connectivity suitable for a wide range of wired applications.
