Gateway LoRaWAN exterior DRAGINO DLOS8N-868-EC25-E com 4G

The DRAGINO DLOS8N-868-EC25-E is an outdoor LoRaWAN gateway engineered for long-range IoT connectivity on the 868 MHz band and equipped with a 4G cellular backhaul. It collects data from multiple LoRa end nodes and forwards packets to cloud or local servers via cellular networks, enabling deployments where wired backhaul is impractical. The unit is housed in an enclosure suitable for outdoor installation and is intended for continuous operation in networks that require wide-area wireless coverage.

Advantages

This gateway supports multiple LoRa end nodes simultaneously while using the 868 MHz frequency common in European regions, and the integrated 4G modem provides flexible connectivity without requiring Ethernet or fixed broadband. The outdoor-rated enclosure and antenna interfaces simplify installation on poles or walls, and the device aggregates and forwards LoRaWAN traffic reliably to network servers, reducing the need for on-site data collection.

Suitable for

• Smart city sensor backhaul (street lighting, air quality, parking)
• Agricultural monitoring across fields and remote assets
• Logistics and asset tracking in distributed outdoor sites
• Environmental and infrastructure remote monitoring

When it may not be suitable

This gateway is designed for LoRaWAN networks on the 868 MHz frequency and for deployments that need cellular backhaul. It is not suitable where another frequency band is required (for example 915 MHz) or where a wired Ethernet connection is mandatory. It also does not replace gateways designed for indoor-only use or for very high-density enterprise cellular traffic aggregation.

Key specifications

• Radio frequency: 868 MHz LoRaWAN band
• Backhaul: integrated 4G cellular modem for WAN connectivity
• Deployment type: outdoor-rated enclosure for pole or wall mounting
• Function: multi-channel LoRa packet aggregation and forwarding
• Typical use: continuous operation for long-range IoT networks

How to use

Install the gateway on a mast, pole or wall at a location with good cellular signal and clear line-of-sight to LoRa nodes when possible. Connect the power source as specified by the manufacturer and ensure the SIM card and APN settings are configured for the chosen cellular provider. Use the gateway’s web interface or supported network server integration to register the gateway, configure radio channels and forwarder settings, and monitor link and device statistics. After configuration, verify end nodes are communicating and that data is being forwarded to the intended server or cloud platform.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your deployment uses the 868 MHz LoRaWAN frequency compatible with this gateway.
• Verify cellular network coverage and required data plan for 4G backhaul at the installation site.
• Confirm physical mounting options and environmental protection meet your outdoor location needs.
• Check compatibility with your chosen LoRaWAN network server or cloud platform.

Recommendations

Place the gateway as high as practical to maximize LoRa range, and test cellular signal strength before final mounting. Use a reliable SIM/data plan and keep firmware updated to maintain security and compatibility with LoRaWAN network servers.
