  • Patent number: 12401383
    Abstract: A communication gateway for connecting an LPWAN network to a network for access to a cellular or RAN network, the LPWAN network and the RAN network using radio links. Such a gateway typically allows connected objects and servers on the Internet to communicate according to the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. However, the proximity of the frequency bands used for the two radio links may lead to mutual interference between them, the transmitter of one interfering with the receiver of the other, especially when the gateway is miniature, of the order of magnitude of the connected objects (approximately 10 cm). The disclosed gateway electromagnetically isolates the two RF channels by means of double filtering: by a bandpass filter on the LPWAN RF channel combined with a rejection filter on the cellular RF channel.

  • Patent number: 10312949
    Abstract: A gateway architecture able to meet the challenges raised by the large-scale deployment of wireless sensor networks. The main modules within such a gateway for wireless sensor networks, for example digital radio modems and analog radio interface modules take the form of various separate physical blocks that may be joined together. This technique makes it possible to implement adaptable and scalable modular gateways that may be quickly and easily configured or suited to any situation, simply by replacing existing physical blocks or adding new physical blocks.
