Build a private LoRaWAN network for EU868 regions with local processing, dashboarding and automation built in. This indoor gateway combines a Semtech SX1302 8-channel LoRaWAN concentrator with a quad-core Cortex-A35 processor, making it suitable for collecting data from multiple long-range sensor nodes and acting on it locally.
Instead of relying on an external cloud service, the gateway includes an SIoT local server and pre-installed Node-RED. That means MQTT-style data handling, visual automation flows and local rules can run directly on the gateway, helping keep sensor data on your own network and allowing automations to continue without an internet connection.
Connectivity is provided via 2.4GHz WiFi, AP hotspot mode and a 100Mbps Ethernet port. The gateway is part of the DFRobot LoRaWAN series and is intended for applications such as smart agriculture, home automation, classroom IoT experiments, MQTT learning and LPWAN development.
Included in the box are the LoRaWAN Indoor Gateway (868MHz), gateway antenna and AC/DC power adapter.
Features:
- Built-in SIoT local server: Enables local data collection and processing without setting up an external server.
- Pre-installed Node-RED: Provides visual, zero-code logic flows for IoT automation.
- Long-range data collection: Enables data collection from outdoor sensors up to 4km range with local processing.
- Total Privacy: Camera feeds, moisture levels, and location data never leave the local network.
- Zero Latency: Local processing ensures instant response times for automations.
- No Cloud Fees: Eliminates subscription services for data hosting.
- Offline Operation: Smart garden or security systems continue functioning even without an internet connection.
- Semtech SX1302 8-Channel Chip: Handles dozens of sensors simultaneously with high sensitivity (-140dBm).
- Quad-Core CPU: Powerful Cortex-A35 processor (1.3GHz) ensures Node-RED flows run smoothly without lag.
- Auto Data Parsing: Automatically converts raw hex data into readable values, such as converting 0x1C to 28°C.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 2.4GHz WiFi
- 2.4GHz WiFi is the common wireless network band used by many routers and embedded devices. It matters here because the module can use WiFi for firmware updates, separate from its Bluetooth serial function.
- eMMC
- Embedded MultiMediaCard is built-in flash storage soldered onto a board, similar in purpose to an SD card but integrated. It matters because it holds the operating system and files without needing a separate memory card.
- Flash memory
- Non-volatile memory that keeps stored data even when power is removed. In this sensor, it matters because enrolled fingerprint templates can remain saved after the project is turned off.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- MQTT
- A lightweight messaging protocol often used for IoT devices to publish and receive data through a server called a broker. It matters for home automation and sensor networks because it is simple, efficient, and widely supported.
- RAM
- RAM is temporary memory used while a device is running, and its contents are lost when power is removed. A “Run in RAM” mode is useful for testing settings without permanently programming the module, but it may not support every feature.
- RST
- Short for reset, a control pin used to restart or initialise a device from a microcontroller. It matters because this sensor requires the RST pin to be connected for some communication setups.
- RTC
- A Real-Time Clock keeps track of time even when the main processor is asleep or powered down, usually with a small backup battery. It matters for data logging and tracking projects that need accurate timestamps.
- SIoT
- SIoT is a local Internet of Things server system used to collect and share data between connected devices, often using MQTT messaging. It matters when choosing a learning kit because it lets a classroom or project network store and exchange device data without relying entirely on cloud services.
- SMA
- A threaded coaxial connector commonly used for antennas. It matters because you need antennas with matching SMA connectors, or suitable adapters, for the LTE and GNSS antenna ports.
