7. WILOW® IOT GATEWAY PRODUCT PRESENTATION

It is highly recommended to read all the user manual related to Beanair software &
equipment (BeanScape® Wilow® and BeanDevice® WiLow®) before getting start your IoT Gateway®.
Use only accessories supplied by Beanair (batteries, power supply unit, and antenna). Use of
other materials may damage the IoT Gateway®;
Only Beanair is qualified to make changes on the IoT Gateway®; Don’t try to remove the adhesive label on the product; it contains important information such
as the MAC address or sensor measurement range

7.1 PRODUCT OVERVVIEW

Wilow® IOT Gateway along with BeanScape® RA will provide you a ready to use one packaged solution for remote access monitoring using BeanDevice Wilow.
Communication between Wilow® IOT Gateway and Real time office monitoring site (using BeanScape® Wilow® RA) will be supported with 3G/4G channel.
In order to assure a continuous monitoring without interruption caused by network provider, it is recommended to use mobile broadband package or M2M sim card rather than using unlimited data plans which are available for smartphones (this is because providers monitor usage of unlimited plans and if they are being used in devices other than smartphone they will restrict access)
Data transmission is managed using MQTT lightweight protocol with the Wilow® IoT Gateway hosting an embedded MQTT broker.
Wilow® IoT Gateway is hosting an embedded MQTT Broker, and enables a remote access to the BeanScape® Wilow® RA.
Wilow IOT Gateway is available in three versions:
WILOW-IOT-GATEWAY-4G-MPWR, Mains Power supply
WILOW-IOT-GATEWAY-4G-WDS-MPWPR, Mains power supply, WDS function
WILOW-IOT-GATEWAY-4G-SOLAR, Solar Power Supply WILOW-IOT-GATEWAY-4G-SOLAR, with Solar
Power Supply

7.4 WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Wireless Distribution system is only available on the reference product: ILOW-IOT-GATEWAY-4G-WDS-MPWPR
Beanair is using Ubiquiti Bullet M2 HP Access point with WDS function. While there are some other manufacturers who use WDS that is compatible with Ubiquiti radios, WDS can vary depending on the manufacturer.
WDS is a way to enable layer-2 transparency across radio links. Because it preserves the MAC address from the traffic source, enabling WDS on bridged links is always recommended. WDS is not designed to interoperate between radio vendors, so by using two Ubiquiti radios, users can pass virtually all traffic across wireless links.

Without WDS function, users can setup a star wifi network without wifi cluster-tree network architecture:
