Description
The DINGO LoRaWAN® BACnet Gateway : LoRaWAN® to BACnet® Advanced Gateway / Server provides a powerful; easy to configure solution for transforming every LoRaWAN® device into virtual BACnet device using the new generation of long-range and low-power wireless communication devices based on the LoRaWAN® standard; including supporting trend-logging and edge-gateway to the Cloud.
Allowing up to 200 LoRaWAN® end nodes at distances in excess of 5km in open areas the DINGO LoRaWAN® Gateway represents a quantum leap in data logging technology.
Together with secure end-to-end encryption and robust transmission technology ensure the highest level of data integrity.
The powerful DINGO Stack software enables easy configuration without the need for lengthy and complex on-site engineer time. In addition it allows easy integration with other BACnet/IP® devices on the network from any vendor.
The DINGO Stack LoRaWAN® Server also features an advanced data rate (ADR) control algorithm which constantly monitors each end node link and adapts data-rate and power level to both preserve battery life and mitigate interference.
The DINGO has two Ethernet Ports as standard for backhaul to a network or cloud server.
Many LoRaWAN® devices are already supported in the DINGO Stack library. However; others can be added easily. In addition; device parameters like battery-status and signal-strength can optionally be mapped to BACnet® objects for local or remote logging / surveillance.
This version of the DINGO can have co-residing MBUS (5 or 60 loads) or Modbus RTU (RS485) – selectable via the dropdown options. For other protocols / interfaces please enquire.
Two power supply options are available – internal 90-240V AC or 10-24V DC – selectable via the dropdown options. Note for MBUS 60 load the DC supply must be 24V.

Ordering Guide
This version of the DINGO LoRaWAN® BACnet® Gateway comes in a 3- Station DIN Housing with 1 optional Plug-in position. However; other versions are available; the NEW compact low-cost DINGO-Lite range and a 4- Station DIN option (which allows additional functionality via multiple DINGO Plug-ins for MBUS; Wireless MBUS; Opto-Isolated RS485; etc). Please enquire or see our ordering guide in the product documents section for more information.
The standard DINGO LoRaWAN® BACnet Gateway is powered by 90-240V AC Mains power source. Alternatively it can be ordered with a 10-24V DC 1.5A input option.
As standard the DINGO LoRaWAN® BACnet Gateway ships with a 1 year license for the DINGO Stack Base Engine; LoRaWAN® Gateway; LoRaWAN® Server (including ADR) and 100 Internal BACnet® objects (each node/sensor typically will require 6-18 objects – see the ordering guide for more information here). In addition it includes access to the remote DINGO Manager control and configuration dashboard plus 1 hour of remote support for your first purchase. It also includes 1 year ‘Bronze’ maintenance (software updates only). Other contracts for ongoing updates; support and configuration are available – please enquire.
