Datacake Wireless IoT Hub
Start your IoT monitoring project in minutes
The Datacake Wireless IoT Hub is a plug-and-play gateway with built-in cellular connectivity and full platform access included. Pre-configured and ready to use: no setup, no external infrastructure.
- Built-in cellular connectivity: no WiFi or Ethernet required
- Zero configuration: works out of the box
- 50 free device licenses with full platform access
- Native integration with the Datacake LoRaWAN Network Server
- Works with 300+ supported LoRaWAN sensor models
The first IoT gateway with a full IoT platform included
This is not just a LoRaWAN gateway, it is your complete IoT monitoring solution in a box. When you buy the Datacake Wireless IoT Hub, you get hardware, built-in cellular connectivity, zero setup, and free access to the full Datacake platform including 50 device licenses.
Compatible sensors: ready to connect
The hub works with any LoRaWAN sensor. For 300+ supported devices, Datacake ships a prebuilt template that sets up the payload decoder and a starter dashboard the moment the sensor joins.
Built-in Cellular Connectivity
Every hub comes with a pre-installed SIM card and active data plan. No WiFi, no Ethernet, no network setup at the deployment site.
Zero Configuration
Connect to power, enter the registration code in the Datacake portal, and the gateway is online. No firmware flashing, no protocol setup.
50 Free Device Licenses
Connect up to 50 LoRaWAN sensors with full access to dashboards, rules, reporting, and all platform features. 7-day data retention included.
Wireless IoT Hub vs. a regular LoRaWAN gateway
A regular gateway is just one piece of the puzzle: you still need internet on site, a LoRaWAN Network Server, and an IoT platform. The Wireless IoT Hub ships with all of it.
| Regular LoRaWAN gateway | Datacake Wireless IoT Hub | |
|---|---|---|
| Internet connection | Requires WiFi or Ethernet on site, often involving the IT department | Pre-installed SIM card with prepaid data, online out of the box |
| LoRaWAN Network Server | Set up and operate your own LNS or register with a third-party service | Built-in Datacake LNS, pre-configured and ready |
| Gateway configuration | Packet forwarder, frequency plan and firmware setup | Enter a registration code in the portal, done |
| IoT platform | Licensed, connected and integrated separately | Full Datacake platform access with 50 free device licenses |
| Time to first sensor reading | Hours to days, depending on infrastructure | Minutes |
| Required know-how | LoRaWAN and network expertise | None: no technical background required |
Ideal for
- Fast pilot projects that need results this week, not next quarter
- Sites without WiFi, Ethernet or IT support: cold rooms, warehouses, greenhouses, remote buildings
- Non-technical teams such as facility managers, pharmacies, schools and museumsExplore industries
- Organizations rolling out monitoring across many distributed locations
- Large deployments too: a single hub handles hundreds of sensors, simply pick a plan when you outgrow the 50 included licensesSee pricing
Probably not for you if
- You already operate your own LoRaWAN Network Server and just need extra coverageDatacake LoRaWAN Network Server
- You need a ruggedized outdoor gateway for mast or rooftop mounting: the hub is an IP30 indoor device
Cellular Connectivity
Pre-installed SIM card: connect anywhere
Every Datacake Wireless IoT Hub comes with a pre-installed SIM card and an active data plan. There is no need for WiFi, Ethernet, or complex network setup at the deployment site. Simply place the gateway, connect it to power, and it is online.
- No WiFi or Ethernet required at deployment site
- SIM data typically lasts several months to a year
- No automatic renewal or hidden charges
- WiFi and Ethernet optionally available as fallback
Integrated LNS
No external LoRaWAN Network Server needed
The gateway connects natively to the built-in Datacake LoRaWAN Network Server, instantly and securely. Register the gateway and start adding and managing devices directly within the platform. No extra tools, no third-party accounts, no complex integrations.
Data Forwarding
Forward data to external systems when needed
While fully integrated, the Datacake Wireless IoT Hub is never locked in. Forward sensor data to external systems using Webhooks, HTTP, or MQTT, giving you full control and flexibility for your own infrastructure or analytics pipelines.
- Webhook, HTTP and MQTT forwarding supported
- Full control over data routing
- Compatible with existing analytics infrastructure
Mobile App
Monitor your gateway from anywhere
The free Datacake app for iOS and Android puts your gateway and sensors in your pocket. Check the live status of your Wireless IoT Hub, see uplinks, downlinks and round trip time at a glance, and react before small issues become problems.
- Live online status and last-seen timestamps
- Uplink, downlink and round-trip-time statistics
- All connected sensors and dashboards in the same app
- Push notifications from the Datacake rule engine
