Sentrius™ MG100 Gateway

Ezurio's Sentrius MG100 Gateways are powered by Ezurio's Pinnacle™ 100 modem. The MG100 Gateway captures data from Bluetooth® 5 long-range sensors and sends it to the cloud via a global low-power cellular (LTE-M/NB-IoT) connection. This open-development device for custom application development leverages the power and simplicity of Zephyr RTOS programming on the integrated Cortex-M4F microcontroller to tailor applications.

There are two application development paths on offer:

• Using the Canvas™ platform firmware and sample applications as the basis for applications providing a head start on development
• Ground up using Zephyr RTOS Board Files provided by Ezurio

The MG100 requires firmware to be written by the user. The USB-SWD programmer kit is required to configure the device. Developers can use the Canvas device manager, powered by EdgeIQ. This device management platform simplifies workflows for the configuration and maintenance of IoT device deployments. Easily set up devices, monitor performance, and keep software up-to-date across an IoT device fleet.
