MultiTech Conduit® Access Point Access Point for LoRa® Technology (MTCAP Series)
Overview
The Conduit® AP provides deep in-building connectivity and improved performance to network operators and enterprises looking to connect thousands of IoT devices by leveraging the LoRaWAN® protocol . The easy-to-install Conduit AP Access Point extends LoRa® connectivity in commercial buildings such as hotels, convention centers, offices and retail facilities, providing coverage in hard-to-reach areas where cell towers or rooftops cannot penetrate.
The Conduit AP provides a development environment for software developers and IT professionals alike. mPower™ Edge Intelligence features an easy-to-use graphical user interface and includes an integrated LoRa Network Server and Packet Forwarder to connect locally clustered assets in a private LoRaWAN network directly to IoT data platforms of your choice. The Conduit AP moves complex processing to the edge to reduce upstream communications and operational costs. The Conduit AP offers Ethernet IP backhaul or optionally 4G LTE IP backhaul. Commercial buildings and retail facilities present installers with unique installation challenges, particularly when it comes to access point location and power availability. The Conduit AP offers models with various power options, including Power over Ethernet, that address these challenges and simplify the installation process.

LENS® Embedded Network Server LENS is a hybrid LoRaWAN® network management platform that enables large-scale deployment and management of LoRaWAN networks. Designed for private and corporate networks, LENS provides a location-based user account and centralized management for LoRa® end devices as well as the configuration and control of Conduit®
gateways. LENS provides the ability to grant access rights to individual users, add gateways and LoRa end nodes in bulk, or support separate organizations
and network segmentation to support different IoT use cases or applications.
Cloud-based application storage and IoT device management
MultiTech DeviceHQ® is a cloud-based toolset for managing the latest generation of MultiTech devices. It includes the entire functionality of the MultiTech Device Manager, which is already used by many M2M and IoT applications for remote monitoring, upgrades and configuration of entire device populations - whether one device or 1 million. DeviceHQ takes remote device management and maintenance to a new level by providing an application marketplace that allows users to browse applications or create their own and then easily push them to remote devices.
