Best-in-Class Security, Connectivity, and Reliability

The ALTA® by Monnit Wireless IoT Gateway combines a 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular engine and Ethernet platform (commercial only) with Monnit’s wireless access point network to aggregate and communicate data from Monnit ALTA Wireless Sensors. The ALTA IoT Gateway allows ALTA Sensors to operate on the world’s leading cellular networks and stay connected to the Internet.

To meet the global demand for enterprise IoT deployment, the IoT Gateway communicates with the cloud-based iMonnit® monitoring software via cellular transmission, making it ideal for remote locations or where the Internet isn’t available. The RJ-45 Ethernet jack (commercial only) allows local device configuration, diagnostics, and connectivity backup. The IoT Gateway is instrumental in sending sensor notifications via text, email, or call if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.

Gateway features include:

• 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular technology
• Bank-level security: Encrypt-RF® (Diffie-Hellman 256-bit Key Exchange and AES-128 CBC)
• Redundant power: AC main power with battery backup lasting up to 60 hours
• Superior scalability: Supports up to 100 ALTA Wireless Sensors
• Uninterrupted data collection: Onboard memory stores up to 32,000 sensor messages (Data stored during Internet outages is sent when connectivity is restored.)
• Broad compatibility: LTE CAT-M1/NB2 for global use in bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 66, 71, 85
• Future-proof software: Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) upgrades included
• Unmatched wireless range: Communicates with battery-powered sensors up to one mile (line-of-sight) and 1,200 ft+ through 12+ walls (non-line-of-sight)
• Location Awareness: Comes with GPS data tracking capability and is available as an add-on service via an API.
• True plug and play, no hassles for Internet configuration setup
• No PC required for operation
• Local status LEDs with transmission and online status indicators

The IoT Gateway is available in two versions: Commercial and Industrial. The IoT Gateway and iMonnit work together to connect and configure ALTA Sensors over the Internet and make their data accessible virtually anytime, anywhere. The IoT Gateway provides the crucial link that connects ALTA Sensors to iMonnit using 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 (4G Long-Term Evolution Category M1/NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) 2) cellular technology. The gateway is equipped with a 60-hour backup battery and will continue to communicate with iMonnit via cellular transmission in the event of a power outage.

Additionally, the IoT Gateway comes with an RJ-45 Ethernet jack (commercial version only) for local device configuration. However, it’s ideal for applications without a wired Internet connection or where infrastructure is dedicated to other resources.

The IoT Gateway includes a GNSS location chipset supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS satellites. With the proper gateway subscription enabled, gateway location data can be collected, viewed, and distributed to additional software via an application programming interface (API). Location data functionality is only available when the cellular technologies are enabled.

Applications

• Remote Location and Asset Monitoring
• Shipping and Transportation
• Agricultural Monitoring
• Vacant Property Management
• Vacation Home Property Management
• Construction Site Monitoring
• Data Center Monitoring

Power Interrupt Switch

The ALTA® Industrial loT Gateway comes with a power interrupt control operated by a magnetic reed switch. The power interrupt control disconnects both the main power supply and battery backup. Use this feature if you need to force a reset of the gateway without opening the waterproof seal. When contact is made, the gateway status lights will turn off, indicating successful power interruption.

Note: Power is only interrupted while the magnet is on the touchpoint. Once the magnet is removed, power is returned.
