Robustel R1320LGe
Industrial LoRaWAN gateway with 4G/LTE Cat-4, PoE-PD, and eSIM.
The R1320LGe is a compact industrial LoRaWAN gateway built for reliable packet forwarding at scale. It collects upstream data from LoRaWAN end-nodes across EU868, AU915, US915, and AS923 frequency plans and forwards it via standard LoRaWAN packet forwarding protocols to any compatible LNS — ChirpStack, The Things Network, LORIOT, Actility, and others running on-premises or in the cloud.
Three backhaul options adapt to the infrastructure available at each site. 4G LTE Cat-4 cellular provides connectivity where wired infrastructure isn’t accessible. Fast Ethernet connects directly to an existing LAN. PoE-PD (802.3at) on ETH0 allows the gateway to draw power from a PoE-capable switch, removing the need for a separate power run to the installation point a practical advantage in comms rooms, distribution cabinets, and riser spaces where power outlets are limited.
Dual SIM support one MFF2 eSIM alongside a physical Mini SIM (2FF) slot — simplifies cellular provisioning across multi-site deployments, with the option to switch or reassign carriers remotely without physical access to the device.
LNS COMPATIBILITY
Forwards LoRaWAN node data via standard packet forwarding protocols to any compatible LNS. Integrate with your existing ChirpStack, The Things Network, LORIOT, Actility, or private network server deployment without gateway-side reconfiguration.
LoRaWAN BACKHAUL
Add eSIM and Dual-SIM redundant cellular and Wi-Fi back-haul to your LoRaWAN Network.
8-CHANNEL LoRa
Receives data across 8 LoRaWAN channels simultaneously, with +25 dBm transmit power and −140 dBm receive sensitivity for reliable coverage in typical indoor and light-commercial environments.
OPERATING SYSTEM
RobustOS – Lightweight Linux kernel with packet forwarding capabilities and full SDK
RCMS ON-BOARD
RCMS Cloud device management enabled for enhanced scalability.
Example R1320LGe Use Cases
Smart Utilities & Metering
Water, gas, and heat meters across a residential block or commercial district generate low-frequency readings that LoRaWAN handles efficiently without per-device cellular costs. The R1320LGe aggregates traffic across up to 8 simultaneous LoRaWAN channels and forwards it to your metering platform’s LNS. 4G/LTE backhaul with eSIM removes the need to coordinate SIM provisioning individually at each gateway location.
Smart City & Municipal IoT
Flood sensors, streetlight controllers, waste-level monitors, and parking nodes are geographically spread, infrequently polled, and too numerous to connect individually via cellular. A single R1320LGe provides district-scale LoRaWAN coverage from an indoor or cabinet-mounted installation, with 4G or Ethernet backhaul forwarding aggregated node data to the municipal LNS. At 31 × 98 × 129 mm and under 230 g, it fits cleanly into standard enclosures and comms cabinets.
Smart Building Management
Elevator plant rooms, pump rooms, fire system monitoring points, and energy sub-metering nodes increasingly use LoRa sensors for non-critical reporting. The R1320LGe sits in the building’s comms room or electrical riser, collecting LoRaWAN sensor traffic and forwarding it to the BMS or cloud platform, while RCMS keeps each gateway visible to the facilities operations team without requiring physical access.
