MultiTech Conduit® AP 300 Series Access Point, featuring the mPower™ Edge Intelligence operating system, serves as a gateway or access point, enabling connectivity between LoRaWAN®-Based wireless IoT devices and network or cloud infrastructure. The Conduit AP Access Point offers a range of wide-area-network communication options, including wired and wireless interfaces, providing flexibility in connectivity. It supports the LoRaWAN protocol in addition to Ethernet and cellular connectivity options, depending on the specific model and configuration.

The Conduit AP is designed for indoor use in industrial applications such as smart buildings, retail, agriculture, and other deployments where reliable, secure long-range data communication is essential. The device acts as a gateway between the LoRaWAN network and IoT devices, facilitating data transmission and enabling remote management and monitoring of connected devices.

Security is a crucial aspect of IoT deployments, and the Conduit AP Access Point provides built-in hardware security features to protect data and devices. mPower includes features such as encryption, authentication mechanisms, firewall capabilities, and secure protocols to safeguard against unauthorised access or data breaches.

The MultiTech Conduit AP Access Point serves as a versatile and reliable LoRaWAN gateway for IoT deployments, enabling seamless connectivity, secure data transmission, and efficient management of connected devices.

The MultiTech Cellular Gateway is a versatile and practical solution for IoT connectivity. It is reliable, easy to deploy, and can connect thousands of IoT devices in various environments. Its ability to extend coverage in difficult-to-reach areas makes it an essential tool for organisations utilising IoT technology.

Use Case Applications:

Managing Smart Buildings: The Conduit AP Access Point can be used to control various building devices. These include sensors that track temperature, humidity, light, and movement. The device gathers data from these sensors and uses it to control things like heating and lighting systems. This helps to save energy and keep the building comfortable.

Farming: The device can also be used to collect data from sensors spread across a farm. These sensors can track things like soil moisture, weather conditions, crop health, and animal movement. The data is then used to make farming more efficient by helping to decide when to water crops, add fertiliser, or manage pests.

Managing Store Inventory: In retail stores, the Conduit AP can be used to track inventory. Devices such as smart shelves or item tags can send data to the Access Point. This data can then be analysed to keep track of stock levels and ensure items are always available. This makes managing inventory easier and more efficient.
