1 Product Description
1.1 Overview
The Enterprise Radio is a LoRaWAN IoT gateway that supports the full range of US902-928
channels in an outdoor environment (Tx: 923-928MHz, Rx: 902-915MHz). The hardware
architecture supports one or two LoRa antennas, a GPS antenna, direct DC input power and
copper Ethernet backhaul. Table 1-1 shows the Enterprise Radio product information.

Figure 1 illustrates the Enterprise Radio external form-factor.
The Enterprise radio is a modular radio that is designed to interface to a specific host to form a
custom strand mount LoRa gateway (SLG). TEKELIC manufactures the T0004564 Enterprise
Radio and delivers it to a specific development partner/customer who attaches it to the
dedicated host portion within a matching mechanical chassis half to realize a complete SLG.
The mechanical chassis of the host is custom designed to interface perfectly with the Enterprise
radio to realize a fully integrated strand mounted gateway. The Enterprise Radio will not fit
with or mechanically mate to any other host device by design.
The required host supply voltage and current capability is: 5Vdc ±5%, 6.5A (Table 1-3)
The data communication interface requirement is 100/1000BT Ethernet. The connector
interface is defined in Table 2-2. During normal operation the Ethernet interface shall provide
access to the internet for the Enterprise radio module to connect to a LoRaWAN network
server.

1.2 External Interfaces
The Enterprise Gateway external interconnect is illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3. In Figure 2,
the GPS antenna connection is labelled “14” and the two other N-type connectors shown are
the LoRa RF interfaces. Figure 4 shows the connections to the specific host portion of the SLG.
The 5V input DC power cable is shown on the lower left of the figure and a RJ45 Ethernet
connector is shown above the cable.
