2.2 Gateway Antennae
The Cellular models of the Gateway use a single piece antenna which has capability of WiFi/BT, LTE and GPS as
shown in Figure 2-1. It contains omni-directional antennae and the radiation patterns are stable across all
major cellular (2G/3G/4G) bands. The individual antennae connect by using SMA (M) connectors
.
3. Functional descriptions
The Gateway is a 24Vdc powered device that collects data either wirelessly or wired (using IEEE 802.3
standard) from field devices. Some of the wireless protocols are on separate M.2 cards that need to be
connected to the gateway in order to be used. Once data is collected, the gateway organizes and processes the
data. It then transmits the information to a cloud computing service. The gateway may transmit in two ways,
the first way is through commercial cellular networks. The second way is using wired IEEE 802.3.
