Laird Connectivity Sentrius MG100 Gateway

The Laird Connectivity Sentrius MG100 Gateway captures data from Bluetooth 5-enabled sensors and transmits to the cloud through a global low-power cellular data (LTE-M/NB-IoT) connection. It is based on a Laird Connectivity Pinnacle 100 cellular modem, which integrates a Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 system-on-chip (SoC) with its Arm Cortex-M4F core to provide full Bluetooth 5 communication capabilities. The modem also provides LTE-M/NB-IoT connectivity via an integrated Sierra Wireless HL7800 and, for hostless design simplicity, enables application development directly on the microcontroller using the Zephyr real-time operating system (RTOS).

Available in a small form factor, the gateway is suitable for multi-wireless IoT applications where long-range Bluetooth sensors bridge directly to the cellular network without the need to access any local network infrastructure. Target applications include cold chain transportation monitoring, long-range battery-powered sensors, predictive maintenance and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The product includes regulatory approvals for FCC, ISED and CE and cellular approvals PTCRB, GCF and AT&T to date, with additional carrier certifications to come.
