  1. Wireless IoT Hub

Overview

The Datacake Wireless IoT Hub is an easy-to-use LoRaWAN gateway that integrates directly with the Datacake platform.

Last updated 20 days ago

Was this helpful?

It’s designed to get you up and running with IoT projects in just a few minutes – no setup, no subscriptions, no third-party tools required.

What's Included

  • LoRaWAN Gateway (Datacake Wireless IoT Hub)

  • Power adapter and indoor antenna (type of power adapter is based on IoT Hub version, e.g. EU)

  • Preinstalled SIM card with prepaid data

  • Setup instructions + device license code for 50 devices on the Datacake platform

Key Features

  • Native integration with the Datacake LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS)

  • Cellular connectivity out of the box – no WiFi or Ethernet required

  • Plug & Play: no configuration needed

  • 50 free devices with full access to platform features (7-day data retention)

  • Works with 300+ supported LoRaWAN devices and templates

  • Optional data forwarding via Webhooks, MQTT, or HTTP

  • Ideal for fast deployments, demos, and real-world use cases

Use Cases

The Wireless IoT Hub is ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Smart Building (environmental and occupancy monitoring)

  • Smart Farming (soil moisture, climate, irrigation)

  • Smart City (air quality, traffic, noise)

  • Cold Chain Monitoring (temperature-sensitive logistics)

  • Industrial Monitoring (predictive maintenance, machine data)

How It Works

  1. Order the gateway through your Datacake account

  2. Unbox and power it up – SIM card is active

  4. Go to Gateways in the sidebar, enter the included code

  5. Add your LoRaWAN sensors – dashboards and data appear instantly

Buying the Gateway

The Datacake Wireless IoT Hub is available for purchase directly inside the Datacake platform.

We’ve chosen this method to:

  • Automatically link the gateway to your account

  • Activate your included device licenses right away

  • Provide access to your invoices and order history via the Billing Center

  • Simplify support and onboarding

To buy, simply log in to your Datacake account and navigate to the Gateways section.

SIM Card and Connectivity

Each gateway includes a preinstalled SIM card with prepaid data. This allows the device to connect immediately without local internet access.

  • No WiFi or Ethernet required (though both are supported)

  • Data volume typically lasts several months to a year, depending on use

  • No automatic renewal or hidden charges – you'll be notified when it runs low

  • Top-ups and subscriptions will be offered later, with full transparency

Support

If you have any questions, feel free to:

  • Use the contact form on the platform

  • Reach out via the live chat

  • Or send us an email – we’re happy to help

We’ll also contact you after your purchase with delivery updates and any further instructions.
