In Southeast Asia’s dense urban landscapes, generic IoT hardware fails. Concrete attenuation, tropical humidity, and electromagnetic interference from other RF bands create “dead zones” that standard gateways cannot penetrate.
ZHTI partners with Tektelic Communications, the global leader in carrier-grade LoRaWAN® solutions, to deliver networks that are simple to deploy, reliable to operate, and cost-effective to scale. Tektelic gateways are designed and manufactured in Canada/Europe with industrial-grade components, ensuring 10+ years of uninterrupted service in the harshest APAC conditions.
Best For:
Indoor Enterprise, Small Buildings, Plant Rooms
Key Technical Advantage:
Compact 8-channel indoor gateway with dual-SIM cellular, PoE or 12 V power, and 4-hour battery backup for Always-On connectivity during power outages.
APAC Built-Up Environment Value:
Fits easily in utility closets where outdoor gateways cannot reach. Ideal for retrofitting existing high-rises without roof access.
Best For:
Campus-Wide, Industrial Parks, Outdoor Clusters
Key Technical Advantage:
Rugged IP67-rated outdoor gateway with integrated Cellular & GPS antennas. 8-channel duplex design with low power draw.
APAC Built-Up Environment Value:
Perfect for distributed sites like industrial parks or university campuses. Cellular backhaul eliminates dependency on unstable building Ethernet.
Best For:
Citywide Utilities, Large Municipal Networks
Key Technical Advantage:
Carrier-grade 16-channel gateway with 27 dBm Tx power, -142 dBm sensitivity, and integrated cavity filtering for strong coverage and RF interference rejection
APAC Built-Up Environment Value:
Provides vast coverage from fewer sites. Essential for utilities deploying thousands of meters across a city. Lightning protection safeguards against tropical storms.
Best For:
National-Scale AMI, Hazardous Areas
Key Technical Advantage:
Telecom-grade 64+8 channel full-duplex gateway. Handles up to 12 million messages/day. ATEX-certified variant available for oil/gas/chemical plants.
APAC Built-Up Environment Value:
The workhorse for national smart metering rollouts. Receiver diversity ensures robust connectivity even in deep basement pits or shielded industrial enclosures.
Best For:
Remote Sites, Off-Grid Infrastructure
Key Technical Advantage:
Fully autonomous solar-powered gateway with intelligent charge management. Zero mains power requirement.
APAC Built-Up Environment Value:
Enables smart metering in remote rural areas, isolated pump stations, or heritage sites where trenching for power/data is prohibited.
Most LoRaWAN deployments require a separate cloud-based Network Server, adding latency, subscription costs, and security risks. Tektelic changes the game with Embedded LNS:
Process data locally within the gateway. Ideal for secure government facilities, air-gapped industrial networks, or sites with poor internet connectivity.
Native support for BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT, and REST APIs allows Tektelic gateways to push sensor data directly into existing Building Automation Systems (Niagara, OpenBlue, etc.) without middleware.
Edge computing enables instant alerts for leaks, tampering, or safety events—critical for emergency response in healthcare or industrial settings.
Eliminate monthly cloud server fees and reduce backhaul data traffic. One device act as Gateway, Network Server, and Protocol Bridge.
Tektelic provides a suite of tools to ensure successful deployment without requiring RF engineering expertise:
A simple mobile app for indoor RF coverage mapping. Walk the site to identify the best gateway locations for strong, reliable performance.
Web-based interface for quick gateway onboarding, device configuration, and network monitoring.
Comprehensive OA&M platform for managing large-scale gateway fleets, performing remote diagnostics, and pushing firmware updates.
Ready-to-use application for asset tracking and personnel location monitoring with interactive maps and geofencing alerts.
