- LoRaWAN Network Operation Modes – Operate in three primary modes: Built-in Network Server (LNS), Packet Forwarder, or secure Basics™ Station.
- Application Integrations – Forward device uplinks and events to external platforms via MQTT or HTTP/HTTPS, enabling seamless processing, visualization, and control in third-party systems.

- Fleet Management with WisDM – Cloud-based platform for remote configuration, mass deployment, live monitoring, alerts, and OTA firmware upgrades.
- Extensions – Enhance your gateway’s capabilities with modular add-ons such as VPN (OpenVPN, WireGuard), Failover, Field Test Data Processor, and more.
- Automatic Data Recovery – Buffers uplink packets locally in Packet Forwarder mode and automatically forwards them once the Network Server connection is restored.
- Advanced Packet Filtering – Filter and forward only selected LoRa packets to optimize network traffic.
