领主 宣布发布其新的企业级物联网（EIoT）低功耗，远程LoRa网关，该网关使企业客户几乎可以在任何地理位置部署EIoT网络，即使没有传统的通信基础架构也是如此。

“The Sentrius RG1xx has been purpose-built from the ground up to create a secure, scalable, robust LoRa network solution,” said Scott Lordo, senior vice president of 领主. “The RG1xx, paired with the other elements of 领主’s growing Sentrius LPWAN ecosystem, enables cost-effective and end-to-end control of public and private LoRa networks alike.”

OEM和开发商具有必不可少的要素，可加快许多最具挑战性的工业环境和应用的EIoT开发，从智能计量到设备监控再到市政资产管理等等。

例如，在工业自动化中，可以使用全面的网络来跟踪分布在庞大设施中的资产。 LoRa网络可以轻松跨越整个园区并收集传感器数据，这些数据可以提供保持效率，生产力所需的深刻见解，并可以用来做出最佳业务决策。 Sentrius RG1xx网关有助于使专有网络易于构建，扩展和维护。

Sentrius RG1xx通过将LoRa作为多接口平台的一部分并结合了本地和广域技术，提供了无与伦比的多功能性，以适合开发人员的应用。

Equipped with 领主’s unique enterprise-grade 802.11 a/b/g/n MIMO Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, Bluetooth and BLE connectivity within a single LoRa gateway, the gateway enables integration of key short-range, low-power wireless technologies with the most effective Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology to dramatically expand the geographic range of 物联网 implementations.

LoRa是LPWAN领域中用于物联网和机器对机器连接的快速增长的标准，可在不更换电池的情况下长距离提供安全的双向数据传输和与IoT网络的长距离通信。

它通常可以发送和接收长达10英里的信号，但是根据需要，通过部署其他网关，该距离可以扩展到数百英里。这为EIoT实施提供了更多便利和灵活性，该EIoT实施几乎可以在任何地方进行集成，而无需在站点上建立电信基础架构或为持续的商业蜂窝用户付费。

Based on the Semtech SX1301 / SX1257 chipset designs enabling eight channels and powerful 27 dBm transmit power, the gateway is designed to work seamlessly with 领主’s LoRa ecosystem of Sentrius RM1xx LoRa + BLE认证模块 和LPWAN天线，可与第三方Cloud和LoRa合作伙伴以及其他LoRaWAN客户端设备进行简单的现成集成并兼容。

Sentrius RG1xx网关还配备了直观的基于Web的配置，集成的LoRa数据包转发器软件以及多个LoRa网络服务器供应商的默认设置。 Lordo说，它已获得FCC，IC，CE以及Bluetooth SIG清单的全面认证。

Concurrently, 领主 is also announcing the Sentrius RG1xx-M2 LoRaWAN Concentrator Card. Expanding on Semtech’s drivers and reference design, the RG1xx-M2 card enables OEMs to integrate a high-performance, certified LoRaWAN gateway interface to any Linux based platform.

“With multiple wired and wireless interface options, the RG1xx gives you complete design freedom to create a private end-to-end LPWAN network, which eliminates the need for a network carrier subscription,” Lordo said. “The RG1xx gateway, paired with the RM1xx series of LoRa and BLE modules and 领主’s LPWAN antennas, will give developers and OEMs control of their cost-effective LoRa ecosystem.”

计划于2017年5月向部分客户提供Sentrius RG1xx的产品样品，此后不久便实现了全面生产。
