Overview

The Efento Gateway is a network device designed to collect and transfer data from Efento wireless loggers to Efento Cloud or other cloud platforms/servers. The gateway is available in two variants:

• LTE - Bluetooth Low Energy

• Ethernet - Bluetooth Low Energy

Both versions support up to 128 wireless loggers and feature onboard memory capable of storing up to 500,000 measurements. The gateway not only receives current logger readings but can also download historical data stored in the loggers’ internal memory, ensuring no measurements are lost. In the event of a network outage, the gateway automatically retries transmission and sends any missing data once the connection is restored.

Data is transmitted to the server using the REST protocol (HTTPS or optionally HTTP). To ensure secure operation, the Gateway uses AES128 encryption for communication between loggers and the gateway, and TLS/SSL for communication between the gateway and the server. Additional features include proxy server support and authorization via custom HTTP headers.

Wireless communication range is up to 100 meters in open areas and 20–30 meters indoors, depending on building structure.

The Efento Gateway can be easily configured using the free Efento mobile application.
