IndiLoRa X Datasheet

Product Overview

IndiLoRa X1 is an ultra-affordable single-channel indoor LoRaWAN® gateway designed for small-scale IoT deployments and legacy industrial system upgrades. Built on the powerful nRF5340 dual-core MCU, it bridges LoRa® sensors with both cloud platforms and local RS-485 networks simultaneously — enabling seamless modernization of existing PLCs, meters, and building automation systems.

With Wi-Fi backhaul, IndiLoRa X1 eliminates the need for Ethernet cabling, making installation fast and extremely cost-efficient in retail stores, warehouses, apartments, hospitals, small factories, and utility rooms. The fanless design ensures silent operation and support for 24×7 monitoring applications.

Supporting AES-128 encrypted communication, OTA updates, MQTT/HTTPS cloud delivery, and direct RS-485 Modbus output, IndiLoRa X1 allows rapid integration into SCADA, BMS, EMS, utility monitoring and more — without replacing existing equipment.

Whether enabling indoor environmental monitoring, asset tracking, energy meters, or low-density sensor networks — IndiLoRa X1 delivers a budget-friendly indoor LoRa® gateway solution that bridges Industry 3.0 with Industry 4.0.
