The ZENNER IoT Gateway outdoor 16 is an innovative LoRaWAN® gateway for the realisation of IoT use cases. With this gateway, ZENNER is launching a powerful solution that introduces the next level of networking for LoRaWAN® applications.
With its outstanding range and efficiency, the LoRaWAN® gateway is ideal for urban and industrial applications. The ZENNER IoT Gateway outdoor 16 has been specially developed for the requirements of IoT applications and offers reliable, energy-saving data transmission over long distances.
With a range of up to 15 kilometres in rural areas and up to 5 kilometres in urban areas, it enables seamless communication between IoT devices. Thanks to state-of-the-art LoRaWAN® technology, the gateway covers even large urban areas with just a few devices.
Innovative technology that impresses

16 channels for flexible network integration: The LoRaWAN® gateway supports 16 LoRa channels, enabling seamless and flexible connection to LoRa network servers.
Secure and encrypted data transmission: The gateway ensures encrypted end-to-end data transmission in accordance with the AES 128 standard. This ensures the security of sensitive data in your IoT applications.
Bidirectional communication: The ZENNER LoRaWAN® gateway not only enables the reception of sensor data, but also the transmission of control commands. This bidirectional communication is a key advantage for applications that require direct control and monitoring of IoT devices.
Flexible backhaul connectivity: With support for 4G Worldwide modules, a 3G/2G fallback and an Ethernet connection (RJ45), the gateway offers a wide range of options to ensure connectivity to the central network.


External LTE and LoRaWAN® antennas for maximum range: The external antenna configuration significantly improves connectivity. In urban areas, the LoRaWAN® gateway achieves a range of up to 5 kilometres, in rural areas even up to 15 kilometres.
Robustness and weather resistance: The housing of the gateway is made of painted aluminium and has an IP67 protection rating. It is therefore ideally suited for outdoor use and can withstand extreme weather conditions.
What the new LoRaWAN® gateway can do
With the ZENNER IoT Gateway outdoor 16, you can realise a variety of innovative solutions in the areas of smart metering, smart building, smart city or smart industry in no time at all.
- Intelligent street lighting: Control street lights based on ambient conditions or traffic volume to save energy and improve lighting quality.
- Smart parking: Monitoring of car parks in real time using parking sensors that detect free parking spaces and report them to central systems.
- Environmental monitoring: Monitoring of air quality and other environmental data using sensors that are networked via the gateway.
- Remote reading of meters: Wireless meters such as water meters, heat meters or heat cost allocators can be seamlessly connected to the central network and read automatically.
- Facility management: Smoke alarms, CO2 sensors and door/window sensors can be networked with the LoRaWAN® gateway and integrated into central alarm systems.
FAQ about the IoT Gateway Outdoor 16
LoRaWAN® is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) protocol that was specially developed for the communication of IoT devices. It enables energy-efficient and wireless data transmission over long distances.
This gateway has 16 channels. A 16-channel LoRaWAN® gateway can receive data via 16 frequency channels simultaneously, which means a higher capacity for the network and supports more devices.
More channels enable a higher data rate, minimise collisions and improve network performance, especially in densely populated areas with many IoT devices.
That depends on the region. In Europe, the 868 MHz band is common, while the 915 MHz band is used in the USA.
A 16-channel gateway can monitor twice as many frequencies simultaneously as an 8-channel gateway, which increases network coverage and efficiency.
