1. Overview
Y511-L is an indoor LoRaWAN gateway with local data processing and application integration. It forwards traffic to an external Network Server or uses optional local Network Server (NS) and Application Server (AS) software to process end-device data.
The local-service configuration supports JavaScript processing, MQTT, HTTP, TCP, WebSocket, and Modbus TCP/RTU integration.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Product type | Indoor LoRaWAN gateway with edge integration |
| Supported end-device LoRaWAN versions | LoRaWAN 1.0.2 / 1.0.3 / 1.0.4 |
| Supported end-device classes | Class A / Class C |
| Default frequency plan | CN470 |
| Supported frequency plans | CN470, EU433, EU868, AU915, IN865, AS923, RU864, US915 |
| Backhaul | 10/100 Ethernet and Wi-Fi; optional 4G |
| Application interfaces | MQTT, HTTP, TCP, WebSocket, Modbus TCP/RTU with compatible local-service software |
| Operating environment | Indoor |
2. Model Configurations
| Configuration | Receive channels | Downlink channels | Selection profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Y511-L, 8-channel | 8 | 1 | Lower concurrent radio traffic |
| Y511-L, 16-channel | 16 | 2 | More receive channels; two transmit paths |
Channel count describes radio paths. Device capacity depends on airtime, reporting intervals, payload size, interference, and downlink traffic. Regional limits, duplex mode, and server scheduling constrain downlink capacity even with two transmit paths.
3. Key Features
- Packet forwarding to a remote Network Server or optional local NS/AS services.
- JavaScript payload decoding, message conversion, downlink encoding, scheduled acquisition, and local control rules with local-service software.
- MQTT, HTTP, TCP, and WebSocket application routes with local-service software; message directions differ by protocol.
- Modbus TCP and RS485 Modbus RTU access to mapped end-device data with compatible software.
- Ethernet and Wi-Fi backhaul, optional 4G, and configurable network priority where enabled.
- Local web configuration and firmware upgrades; remote management where enabled.
In forwarding mode, the external Network Server manages device activation and sessions; the gateway transports radio packets.

7. Ordering and Deployment Notes
- Specify the frequency plan, channel count, and duplex hardware. For
AS923, include the sub-plan. - Match radio channels with the end devices and Network Server.
- Select 4G, local NS/AS, application protocols, JavaScript processing, and Modbus integration as needed. Check the cellular module's operator-band coverage.
- Check the supplied connector set and antenna count, then attach the LoRa antennas before applying power.
- Remove credentials, device keys, and private certificate material from screenshots and support logs.
