LoRaWAN setup guides.

Everything you need to stand up the wireless network behind your sensors. LoRaWAN is long-range and low-power, so a single gateway can cover a large site — these guides cover setup, onboarding, coverage, and getting a gateway back online.

Guides

What is LoRaWAN?

A long-range, low-power radio standard. Sensors report to a gateway, which forwards data to CloudVU — one gateway can cover a large site.

Gateway setup

Power the gateway, choose cellular or Ethernet, and confirm the connection. Set Ethernet priority in LAN settings to switch modes.

Onboarding sensors

Add each HotDrop™, VoltDrop™, or PulseDrop™ to the network in minutes using the Vutility app.

Coverage & range

Place gateways to minimize interference; Vutility sensors transmit reliably even from inside metal enclosures.

Gateway troubleshooting

Power-cycle, check the SIM or Ethernet, and read the status lights — full steps in the FAQ.

Troubleshooting FAQ →

Bring your own SIM

Use a region-appropriate SIM configured in the gateway dashboard if you prefer to manage cellular yourself.

Reading the status lights

Red flashing means the gateway is powered and ready to connect. Blue flashing means it is connected to cellular. Green flashing means it is connecting or working through interference; steady green is a stable connection.
