Industrial Edge Computing LoRaWAN Gateway – LG3120e

Industrial Edge Computing LoRaWAN Gateway with 4G, eSIM, Wi-Fi, Serial and I/O

The Robustel LG3120e is a high-performance industrial LoRaWAN gateway built for sites where connectivity and local intelligence need to arrive together. Running on RobustOS Pro (Debian 11 Bullseye) on a Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 at 2.0 GHz with 2 GB DDR4 RAM and 6 GB of SDK-available flash, it processes, filters, and acts on field data locally — reducing cloud dependency and the latency that comes with it.

A native LoRaWAN Network Server handles LoRaWAN V1.0.4 Class A and Class C device management on-device across EU868, AU915, US915, and AS923 frequency plans. Pre-installed device profiles and codecs for major LoRa sensor families enable zero-configuration onboarding — attach a supported sensor and it begins reporting without manual decoder setup.

MFF2 eSIM alongside a physical Mini SIM (2FF) slot, dual cellular antennas, and dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) provide flexible backhaul. TPM 2.0 provides hardware-level key storage and attestation. An onboard RTC retains timekeeping for up to five days after power loss — relevant for remote sites where power interruptions are a known operational condition.

Fleet operations are managed through RCMS: real-time device status, geospatial dashboard, OTA firmware and configuration delivery, and RobustVPN for secure remote access without a site visit.
