MacLink Gen-2 Datasheet
Product Overview
MacLink Gen-2 is a carrier-grade industrial outdoor LoRaWAN® gateway engineered for ultra-long-range connectivity, high network capacity, and mission-critical performance in harsh environments. Built with a high-sensitivity 8-channel LoRaWAN® concentrator, edge-intelligent packet filtering, and rugged IP67 housing, it establishes a reliable wireless infrastructure for large-scale Smart Cities, Utilities, Industrial Automation, Agriculture, and Environmental Monitoring deployments.
With 4G/LTE + Ethernet + Wi-Fi backhaul, built-in GPS for gateway positioning, surge-protected RF front-end, and advanced interference immunity, MacLink Gen-2 ensures uninterrupted operation in extreme weather, remote locations, and RF-challenging sites.
Multi-layer AES-128 + TLS secured communication, remote OTA firmware upgrades, and centralized management via Macnman’s MacCloud (or any LoRaWAN® Network Server) deliver a flexible and future-proof IoT network backbone. Optional solar-power support and edge buffering guarantee zero data loss and smooth connectivity even during network outages.
Whether connecting thousands of sensors across water utilities, industrial plants, street-lighting networks, smart campuses, or wildlife monitoring systems — MacLink Gen-2 provides a powerful, scalable, and secure LoRaWAN® access point that bridges remote field assets to the cloud, enabling true Industry 4.0 and Smart City growth.
