Effortless Indoor IoT Deployment with the Manusphere MiniHub Pro Gateway
Simplify connecting your indoor IoT sensors with the Manusphere MiniHub Pro Gateway. This compact, cost-effective gateway is designed for rapid deployment in controlled environments such as offices, labs, and monitoring rooms. Featuring simple Wi-Fi backhaul and versatile power options, it’s an ideal solution for seamlessly integrating IoT devices with cloud platforms. Manusphere enables you to leverage this easy-to-use gateway to quickly establish or expand your indoor IoT network.
Overcoming Indoor Connectivity Hurdles
Setting up IoT connectivity indoors can often be complex. Manusphere’s MiniHub Pro Gateway is designed to overcome these challenges:
| Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|
| Need for quick, low-cost LoRaWAN® gateway deployment without running new Ethernet cables. | Offers true plug-and-play setup with its wall-plug design and utilizes your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for backhaul. Configuration is handled via an easy-to-use web interface accessible when the device first starts in AP mode. |
| Finding convenient power sources or needing temporary/mobile gateway placement. | Features flexible power options – use the interchangeable wall plug adapter or power it via its USB-C port from any compatible source (like a USB adapter or power bank), making it suitable for mobile applications or testing. |
| Streamlining integration with AWS cloud services for sensor data processing and analysis. | Comes as an AWS Qualified Device, running FreeRTOS and designed specifically for easy onboarding and connection to AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN®. |
| Requiring a gateway that can adapt to different LoRaWAN® Network Servers (LNS). | While optimized for AWS, alternative firmware is available supporting standard Semtech Packet Forwarder or LoRa Basics™ Station protocols, allowing connection to other LNS platforms like The Things Network or ChirpStack. |
