amberlink uGW800 IoT Hotspot LoRaWAN Device
Introduction
uGW800 is an IoT hotspot, designed by Amber-Link, supporting LoRaWAN, LongFi and Helium block-chain protocol, compatible with all standard LoRaWAN devices. Its runtime power consumption < 5W, but the signal coverage is more than 10 miles. One hotpsot can connect with thousands IoT devices and support real- time data transactions.
Network
uGW800 integrates the Helium Miner firmware and LoRaWAN packet forward module. The hotspot sends the received packet to cloud or block-chain by either Ethernet or Wi-Fi network.

Installation guide
uGW800 hotspot support both indoor and outdoor installation:
- Indoor:
- Place the hotspot on desk
- Connect antenna or antenna extension cable to the hotspot, place the antenna close to window as near as possible.
- Ethernet cable is needed.
- Connect 12V-DC power supply or USB Type-C cable
- Wall-mounted (outdoor):
- Check with uGWAN sales to get the wall-mount kit (not in the packet)
- Follow the guide to fix both hotpsot and FRP antenna solidly.
- Power the hotspot by either 12V-DC or Ethernet PoE (with PoE converter)
- Caution:
- Hotspot designed as IP65, DO NOT drop the device in water.
- The product installation MUST be safety and carefully, the wall should be solid enough to avoid collisions and drops.
- Place it close to the window or balcony as near as possible, outdoor is better, the hostpot can receive GPS signals, and the Sub-GHz antenna has a wide coverage.
