Regional radio options
Select CN470, EU868, IN865, RU864, US915 or AU915 for the deployment. Frequency, channel settings and transmit power must match the local requirements.
Site-specific coverage
Up to 10 km in open-area conditions. Terrain, structures, antenna height and interference determine the usable field coverage.
Local platform deployment
A local deployment can be planned for projects that require site-controlled data handling. Agree the server role, connectivity and integration scope.
Power-loss notification
A power-loss alert can be transmitted when backup power and the backhaul connection remain available. Include the required alert path in the power design.
NETWORK PLANNING
Start with the site.
Define the data path.
A wide-area sensor network begins with the actual radio paths. Review the field layout, gateway mounting location and backhaul before deciding gateway quantity.
01
Define the sensor fleet
List the compatible devices, measurement points and radio configuration. Size traffic from payload length, reporting intervals and downlink needs rather than device count alone.
- Plan your network
- Sensor models · Device count · Payloads · Reporting intervals · Required response
02
Plan radio coverage
Review terrain, buildings and antenna height. Test representative paths to distant, obstructed and low-mounted sensors.
- Plan your network
- Site plan · Antenna position · Interference · Coverage survey · Gateway locations
03
Confirm the onward connection
Check gateway power, the local mobile operator and the receiving platform. For an Ethernet configuration, confirm the supplied interface and the site network requirements.
- Plan your network
- Power supply · SIM / operator · Ethernet configuration · Endpoint · Data mapping
PLACEMENT & INSTALLATIONPosition the gateway.
Position the gateway.
Verify the complete link.
Mount the gateway and antenna for radio visibility while keeping installation and service access practical. Plan structural mounting, earthing, surge protection, cable routing and connector sealing for the site. Verify the complete powered assembly within the specified environmental limits.
FROM SENSOR TO RESPONSE
Collect the data.
Connect your operation.
Separate sensor measurement, gateway forwarding and platform response. Define the reporting profile and verify each stage with real devices before deployment.
Collect
Compatible LoRa sensors send their measurement records to the gateway using the agreed radio settings and reporting profile.
Forward
The gateway forwards collected records through the selected backhaul to the configured MQTT endpoint.
Review & respond
Use Hitelecom Cloud to view uploaded monitoring data online and receive alerts when measurements exceed configured thresholds. A customer platform can provide its own agreed workflow.
RADIO COVERAGE REFERENCEUp to 10 km.
In open-area conditions.
In open-area conditions.
The open-area figure is a deployment reference, not a guaranteed radius. Terrain, obstructions, antenna arrangement, local interference and radio settings affect the actual link. Validate the planned network on site.

Discuss platform integration ↗ANSWERS FOR YOUR PROJECT
Frequently
asked questions.
Practical answers for gateway selection, radio planning, installation and platform integration.
Ask about your project ↗What does the H68 gateway do?
The H68 receives data from compatible LoRa sensors and forwards it to a monitoring platform through the configured backhaul. The gateway provides the connection between sensor points and the platform; the connected sensors perform the measurements.
How is the H66 different from the H68?
H66 is positioned for indoor facilities, with an IP65 enclosure, an operating range of −20°C to +70°C and an open-area distance reference of up to 5 km. H68 is positioned for outdoor sites, with an IP68 enclosure, an operating range of −40°C to +85°C and an open-area reference of up to 10 km. Choose by installation conditions and a site-specific radio assessment.
Will one H68 cover the entire site?
Gateway quantity depends on the actual radio paths, antenna positions, interference and sensor traffic. An open-area distance figure cannot establish coverage inside buildings or behind terrain and structures. Share a site plan and representative sensor positions so the network can be assessed and tested.
How many sensors can one gateway connect?
Capacity depends on payload size, reporting interval, radio settings, traffic concentration, retransmissions and downlink requirements. There is no single device-count figure that applies to every deployment. Provide the sensor list and reporting profile for network sizing.
Does LoRa support mean the gateway is LoRaWAN-compatible?
LoRa identifies the radio technology. LoRaWAN is a network protocol with separate device, gateway and server requirements. Confirm the exact sensor protocol, gateway firmware and platform compatibility for any LoRaWAN requirement before selecting the configuration.
Which frequency and cellular bands should I choose?
Select the regional radio configuration for the deployment country and the LTE modem for the local operator. The published regional radio options and LTE bands are listed in the specification table. A regional band name does not establish local certification or universal operator coverage.
Can I use Hitelecom Cloud or my own platform?
Yes. Agree the integration configuration for Hitelecom Cloud or a compatible customer platform. MQTT is listed in the specification. Confirm the endpoint, topics, payload mapping, timestamps, authentication and any required transport security, then verify a sample message end to end.
Can I view readings online and receive threshold alarms?
With the agreed Hitelecom Cloud integration, users can view uploaded monitoring data online and receive alerts when measurements exceed configured thresholds. Sensor sampling, reporting intervals, network availability and platform settings determine when the information is available. Define recipients and the response workflow during commissioning.
What happens during a power failure?
A power-loss notification requires enough backup energy to operate the gateway and a working backhaul connection. It does not mean transmission continues indefinitely after power is removed. Confirm the backup-power arrangement, notification path and required duration for the project.
What does IP68 mean for outdoor installation?
The IP68 rating applies under the specified enclosure test and installation conditions. Plan sealed cable entries, connector protection, mounting, earthing and environmental exposure for the complete assembly. Confirm any immersion depth or duration requirement separately; the rating does not establish explosion protection.
