Milesight UG65 8-Channel Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway, SX1302, 2,000+ Nodes, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, Optional 4G/3G

The Milesight UG65 is an 8-channel indoor LoRaWAN gateway designed for smart offices, smart buildings, and other indoor IoT deployments. Built around the SX1302 LoRa chip and a quad-core 1.5 GHz 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor, it can handle connections from more than 2,000 nodes while maintaining efficient traffic processing. The gateway supports both half- and full-duplex operation across eight channels and works with multiple regional LoRaWAN frequency plans, including EU868, RU864, US915, AU915, IN865, KR920, CN470, and AS923 variants. With a maximum output power of 27 dBm and sensitivity down to -140 dBm at 292 bps, it is designed for dependable long-range communication across diverse deployment conditions and different regional network requirements.

In open line-of-sight environments, the UG65 can reach up to 15 km, while coverage in urbanized areas is approximately 2 km. Two internal LoRaWAN antennas are provided, with an optional 50-ohm N-female connector available for an external antenna. The IP65-rated enclosure supports desktop, wall, or pole installation and is suited to protected outdoor locations such as under eaves. Its operating range extends from -40 °C to +70 °C, with reduced cellular performance above 60 °C, while non-condensing humidity support from 0% to 95% broadens deployment flexibility across varied site conditions.

The UG65 provides multiple backhaul options to keep LoRaWAN traffic connected to upstream services. Its Gigabit Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing, automatic MDI/MDIX, full- or half-duplex operation, and PoE input. Integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n and can operate in either access point or client mode, with WPA/WPA2 authentication and WEP, TKIP, or AES encryption. An optional cellular interface adds 4G/3G connectivity through a mini-SIM slot, allowing Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular links to be used as alternative backhaul paths. WAN failover further supports service continuity when the primary connection becomes unavailable, helping the gateway maintain access to network servers and application platforms.

Secure network access is supported through OpenVPN, IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, GRE, and DMVPN tunnels. Additional firewall functions include access control lists, DMZ, port mapping, MAC binding, and URL filtering. The gateway supports common network protocols such as TCP, UDP, DHCP, DDNS, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, SNMP, SSH, MQTT, and PPPoE, making it adaptable to established network environments. Management options include web access, CLI, SMS, on-demand dial-up, DeviceHub, Milesight IoT Cloud, and the Yeastar Workplace Platform. LED indicators for power, status, LoRa, Wi-Fi, LTE, and Ethernet provide immediate visibility of operating and connection states during installation and routine maintenance.

The UG65 integrates with mainstream LoRaWAN network servers, including The Things Industries and ChirpStack, while also providing a built-in network server for standalone deployment. MQTT, HTTP, and HTTPS APIs support connection to external applications and data platforms without requiring an additional gateway layer. A built-in noise-level detection and analysis function presents an intuitive diagram that can help installers evaluate the radio environment during deployment. DeviceHub and Milesight IoT Cloud provide centralized management for remote devices, making it easier to supervise distributed gateways from a common interface, review their operating state, and maintain consistent configuration across multiple sites.

For customized workflows, the gateway includes an embedded Python SDK and supports Node-RED for visual, user-friendly application development. Its hardware platform combines 512 MB of DDR4 memory with 8 GB of eMMC storage, providing resources for local services and integration tasks. A Type-C console port, reset button, watchdog, real-time clock, and timer support commissioning and reliable ongoing operation. Power can be supplied through a 9-24 VDC input or IEEE 802.3af PoE, with typical consumption of 2.9 W and a maximum of 4.2 W. The compact 180 × 110 × 56.5 mm enclosure also provides 1.5 kV RMS Ethernet isolation and carries CE, FCC, IC, and RoHS approvals.
