Raspberry Pi CM4-powered outdoor gateway supports GbE, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G LTE, LoRaWAN, and GPS connectivity

EDATEC ED-GWL2110 is an IP24-rated outdoor gateway based on Raspberry Pi CM4 and supporting Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G LTE cellular, LoRaWAN, and GPS connectivity, as well as Power over Ethernet (PoE).

The weatherproof gateway also comes with two microSD cards for the OS (CM4 Lite) and data, an HDMI 2.0 output port, a serial console, and features such as an RTC with backup battery, a watchdog, an ATECC608 secure element, and a user-programmable RGB LED.

There’s no information about the operating system, but other Raspberry Pi CM4-based products from EDATEC such as the CM4 Industrial rely on Raspberry Pi OS plus some extra scripts installed from apt using the “https://apt.edatec.cn/raspbian/” repository. There’s nothing for the ED-GWL2110 gateway at the time of writing, but something should eventually show up there.

EDATEC expected the outdoor gateway to be leveraged for Smart Manufacturing (Industry 4.0), Smart City, and Smart Transportation applications, as well as used as a smart LoRaWAN gateway. We don’t have pricing information yet for the Raspberry Pi CM4-based outdoor gateway, but some samples should eventually be sold on the company’s Aliexpress store. More details may also be found on the product page.
