Gateways
PUTTING YOU IN CONTROL OF THE SOLUTION
Specifications
 Utilising Microchip LoRa® wireless protocol module
 Microcontroller for the gateway management
 Network Connectivity – Ethernet (GPRS option)
 Operates on 12VDC Power Supply
 Micro USB connectivity for configuration
 Provision for simplex event processing (SEP)
 Input/Output, two pairs of switching circuits
configurable by back-office.
 50 ohm SMA antenna connector for external use.
Available in various enclosure
options.

 Indoor (as above)
 Mobile gateway enclosure
options

4. Use Cases For Gateways
• Create private networks by deploying gateways in
a campus, farm, town or city environment.
• Ability to apply rules to perform Simple Event
Processing (SEP) at the gateway.
• Ethernet connectivity as standard, provision for
GPRS versions where internet is a challenge or
mobile gateways required i.e. events etc.
• Various antennae available either low, medium or
high gain.

9. System and BackOffice Architecture
PUTTING YOU IN CONTROL OF THE SOLUTION
Trak365 System Architecture

10. Back-Office System
Message Handling – ability to manage all messages from gateways and
wireless tags both inbound and outbound (2 x way communications)
Message processing – depending on the type of inbound message be that the
tag blink, tag alert, temperature alert, battery-low alert or motion alert the
business rules will determine the action to take.
Alert generation – based on the incoming alert the system will send an SMS
and/or Email to the designated asset owner details.
Tag Provisioning – all provisioning of the tags are done through the back-
office by the designated responsible person, tag and gateway ownership.
Tag Configuration – all tag configurations will be managed via the back-office,
tags will be shipped with optomised default settings. Custom settings will be
managed via ‘Customer Service Requests’ or ‘Super User’ status.
Location based services – all provided using map services and the ability to
set geofence parameters and alert schedules for operational use of the
assets.

11. Value-Added Data Services
Standard Reports – will be available by selecting the type of report required
from the back office around the owned tags and gateways to include alerts
and other statuses.
Data Passthrough – ability to collect data from owned gateways and tags and
provide this data for own use through an API or JSON feed.
Complex Event Processing CEP – provided for clients where required to have
more complex decisions made on incoming messages, e.g. plant in motion +
temperature high + unauthorised use of the plant = disable the plant.
Instead of reams of reports, we are able to process the data and provide
more visually acceptable versions which are more user friendly.
Further analysis of and aggregation of data is available which can include
some predictive, descriptive, diagnostic and prescriptive analysis as and when
required.
These services will be provided on an as and when basis, where required.
