Hub’O  is  the  first  private  LoRaWAN  network  gateway  designed  by  nke  Watteco.  Hub’O  works  in 
partnership  with  a  distant  server  hosted  or  communicating  with  the  applicative  back-end  of  our 
client. 

Now that you have received your gateway, you will be able to create your own LoRaWAN network 
and  start  working  with  it.  This  document  is  here  to  help  you  in  the  installation  and  the  first 
configuration of Hub’O.  

A last paragraph will describe how to correctly install on site a Hub’O gateway and LoRaWAN  end-
devices paired to it. It will be seen that thanks to its LCD screen, the installer can double check that 
the LoRaWAN end-devices are correctly paired to Hub’O and correctly communicates with it.  

 

 

 

 

All the documentation about HUBO’s usage can be downloaded at following address.
