Industrial LoRaWAN® Gateway

Milesight UG56 LoRaWAN® Gateway is a high-performance, industrial-grade gateway that provides stable long-distance communication and jitter-free connectivity for enterprise IoT applications. With its advanced SX1302 LoRa chip and quad-core processor, the UG56 guarantees stable operation in networks with high concentrations of connected devices, making it the perfect choice for use in smart cities, industrial automation, precision agriculture, logistics, and utility metering.

This gateway with 8 channels is capable of wide-area networking with a reach of 15 km in rural areas and 2-5 km in urban areas, based on environmental factors and antenna designs. It supports multiple backhaul modes such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 4G LTE, providing businesses the freedom to integrate with current IT systems or extend in the field where there is no wireline infrastructure.

Global-ready, the UG56 supports various LoRaWAN® frequency bands like EU868, US915, AU915, and AS923, allowing easy deployment in different regions. Expanding an existing LoRaWAN® network or starting from scratch, the UG56 provides out-of-the-box support for popular platforms like The Things Network (TTN), ChirpStack, and Milesight IoT Cloud.

Where it really excels is in its strong security infrastructure. With TLS encryption, VPN tunneling, and firewall protection, the UG56 protects your IoT data from edge devices to the cloud, and it's a reliable solution for industries where network security is paramount.

Its IP65-rated housing provides excellent protection from dust, rain, and severe weather conditions, which renders the UG56 ideal for semi-industrial and outdoor installations like agricultural fields, intelligent parking lots, and logistical centers. Additionally, with remote management functions through Milesight IoT Cloud or third-party solutions, administrators are able to monitor performance, install updates, and resolve issues without costly site visits, reducing maintenance expenses and minimizing downtime.

For system integrators and businesses, UG56 also provides a plug-and-play deployment, minimizing deployment time. Its power-efficient design reduces operational expenditure while providing a scalable network framework that can support thousands of connected sensors.
