Gateway

$900.00

Gateway needed to work with the Food Core Sensors. Comes with global IoT SIM card and fully configured. Just plug in and it works.

Deploy reliable, long-range wireless coverage for your temperature and IoT sensors with our MT-CAP Multi-Tech Gateway (LAP-3). Each gateway ships pre-configured to communicate with our servers, with a global SIM card already installed and activated, so all you need to do on-site is mount it and plug it into power. Antennas, power adapter, SIM, and mounting accessories are all included – no extra hardware, no complex setup.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Pre-configured & ready to go

    • Gateway is fully configured before shipment to connect securely to our cloud platform.

    • No network engineering or command-line work required – just power it on and it starts talking to our servers.

  • Global connectivity with included SIM 

    • Includes an international roaming 4G/LTE SIM card for immediate deployment.

    • Ideal for multi-site, multi-country operations where fixed internet or Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.

  • Robust LoRaWAN gateway for commercial environments 

    • Built on the MultiTech Conduit AP (MT-CAP) platform, a commercial-grade LoRaWAN® gateway.

    • Designed for hotels, food service, cold storage, production kitchens and other demanding environments.

  • Reliable coverage for 10–15 sensors per zone

    • We typically recommend one gateway per 10–15 sensors per zone.

    • This isn’t a limitation of the gateway itself (it supports many more devices) – it’s about ensuring strong radio performance in real-world environments with fridges, cold rooms, stainless steel, concrete and multiple floors.

  • Long-term, low-maintenance infrastructure

    • Solid-state, fanless design, suitable for 24/7 operation.

    • Supports remote firmware updates and diagnostics (OTA), reducing site visits. 

  • Flexible mounting – adhesive backing included

    • Supplied with adhesive backing so you can mount the gateway on a wall near a power point without drilling.

    • Can also be placed on a shelf, atop a cabinet, or other flat surface – wherever provides the best signal.

What’s Included

Everything required for the gateway to function is in the box:

  • MT-CAP Multi-Tech LoRaWAN Gateway (LAP-3 model)

  • Pre-installed global 4G/LTE SIM card

  • External LoRa antenna

  • External LTE/cellular antenna (where applicable) 

  • AC power adapter (region-appropriate plug) 

  • Adhesive backing / mounting kit for wall or surface mounting

  • Quick start guide and deployment recommendations

  • Pre-loaded configuration to connect to our cloud servers (no on-site programming required)

Technical Specifications

Hardware Platform  

  • Model: MultiTech Conduit AP (MT-CAP series, LAP-3 configuration)

  • Channels: 8-channel LoRa gateway (typical MT-CAP configuration)

Connectivity 

  • Cellular backhaul: 4G/LTE (SIM supplied and pre-configured)

  • Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps RJ45 LAN port for IP backhaul (redundant or alternative to cellular)

  • Network Services:

    • Secure device-to-cloud connection to our platform

    • Built-in LoRa Network Server / packet forwarder (per MT-CAP design)

Power & Environmental  

  • Power input: 9–32 VDC (AC power adapter included)

  • Typical supply voltage (adapter): 5–12 VDC output (varies by hardware revision)

  • Operating temperature: 0 °C to +70 °C (typical MT-CAP ratings)

  • Enclosure: Compact ABS housing, indoor commercial use

Physical Dimensions  

  • Approx. dimensions:

    • Width: 165 mm

    • Depth: 135 mm

    • Height: 36 mm

  • Mounting options

    • Wall / surface mount (with supplied adhesive backing or mounting points)

    • DIN rail mounting (via compatible accessories) 

Compliance & Certifications  

  • CE, FCC and RCM compliant (model-dependent)

  • Designed for use in commercial and industrial environments

Recommended Deployment & Coverage

  • Sensors per gateway:

    • Recommended: 10–15 sensors per gateway per zone (e.g. one back-of-house area, a cluster of walk-in fridges, or a cold room group).

    • The gateway itself can technically support 100+ active devices, but we size by zone to maintain strong signal and resilience in heavy-construction environments.

  • Zones and building layout:

    • For sites with multiple levels, heavy use of stainless steel, copper piping, or thick concrete walls, you may require one gateway per floor or per major zone to guarantee good signal penetration.

    • Our team can assist with basic RF layout guidance if required.

  • Mounting best practices:

    • Install near a power point, ideally

      • Above fridge door height

      • Away from being fully enclosed in metal cabinets

    • Use the adhesive backing to stick the gateway to a wall, column, or cabinet face with minimal intrusion, or simply place it on top of a suitable surface.

Simple Plug-and-Play Experience

When you receive the gateway:

  1. Unbox – antenna, power adapter, and SIM are already included.

  2. Mount – stick it to a wall or place it on a suitable flat surface near a power outlet.

  3. Plug in power – the gateway boots and automatically connects to our servers using the pre-configured global SIM.

  4. Add sensors – sensors in the zone will start reporting over LoRaWAN to the gateway and onwards to our cloud platform.

No extra configuration, no SIM activation steps, and no on-site network engineering – the MT-CAP Multi-Tech Gateway (LAP-3) is delivered as a turn-key connectivity solution for your monitoring system.
