Where other gateways fall short

Recurring Connectivity Fees

Public LoRaWAN networks charge per device, per month. Costs explode as you scale.

No Local Control

Cloud-only gateways mean your network depends on someone else's infrastructure and uptime.

Complex Setup

Most LoRaWAN gateways require Linux expertise and hours of configuration.

Limited Coverage

Public network coverage has gaps. Dead zones leave your sensors disconnected.

How It Works
Three steps to your first deployment
01

Install Gateway

Mount EMBER indoors or outdoors, connect power and Ethernet or LTE. Web-based setup takes minutes.

02

Add Sensors

Register STICKER sensors or any LoRaWAN device once in ChirpStack and they join your network.

03

Scale Your Network

One EMBER covers hundreds of sensors. Add more gateways as your deployment grows - the network stays yours.

Inside EMBER

Reliable Coverage Where It Matters
Connectivity

Reliable Coverage Where It Matters

EMBER connects your sensor fleet to the internet through LTE or Ethernet backhaul. Deploy indoors or outdoors and reach devices across buildings, campuses, and rural sites.

LoRaWAN Network Server

EMBER forwards LoRaWAN traffic to a network server - ChirpStack or The Things Stack - self-hosted on your own infrastructure or operated by HARDWARIO as a managed service. Define JavaScript payload decoders, route data via MQTT or webhooks, and manage your entire sensor network from one place.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does EMBER do?

EMBER is a LoRaWAN gateway that lets you run your own private LoRaWAN network, connecting hundreds of STICKER sensors or any LoRaWAN device indoors and outdoors.

Are there recurring connectivity fees?

You own and run your own private LoRaWAN network, with no per-device pricing. Optionally, HARDWARIO provides services around EMBER: a SIM card with connectivity for the LTE backhaul, a managed LoRaWAN network server (The Things Stack or ChirpStack) operated as a service, and secure remote access via OpenVPN.

How does EMBER backhaul data to the internet?

It connects through LTE or Ethernet, so you can deploy it across buildings, campuses, and rural sites. Your LoRaWAN network is managed in a network server such as ChirpStack or The Things Stack - self-hosted on your own infrastructure or operated by HARDWARIO as a service.

How is EMBER configured, and how long does setup take?

EMBER is built on the proven MikroTik platform and configured through a web interface. You can mount it indoors or in an IP67 outdoor enclosure and start collecting data the same day.

How does EMBER route and integrate sensor data?

Define JavaScript payload decoders and route data via MQTT or webhooks. ChirpStack and Node-RED integrate with the platform your solution runs on - ThingsBoard, a purpose-built application, or any REST endpoint - for dashboards and alerts.
