The TEKTELIC KONA Mega (MACO2LEU868-J) is a high-capacity outdoor LoRaWAN gateway designed for public and private network operators deploying large-scale or high-density networks where resilient backhaul is essential. This EU868 TDD LTE variant provides 32 + 4 Rx and 4 Tx channels with double simultaneous Tx capability — supporting millions of Rx messages per day. Two N-Type LoRa antenna ports enable Rx diversity, improving end-device SNR and link budget while extending sensor battery life. An integrated 3G/4G LTE modem provides cellular backhaul as primary connection or as automatic failover when Ethernet is unavailable. The built-in High-Q RF cavity filter delivers 75 dB Tx-to-Rx isolation and strong out-of-band rejection — critical in dense RF environments where cellular and adjacent-band interference would otherwise degrade gateway performance. Housed in a hardened aluminium IP67 enclosure with surge protection on all primary interfaces, it operates from −40 to +60 °C. Powered via PoE 802.3bt or direct 48 VDC input (20 W typical), with integrated GPS holdover for resilient time synchronization.

Note: Other regional channel plans (US915, AU915, AS923 Singapore/Japan, BR915) are available on request — please contact us for a quote.

Note: The integrated 3G/4G LTE modem requires a SIM card with active data subscription — not included.

Note: Two LoRa antennas with N-Type male connectors are required to leverage Rx diversity, plus a GPS antenna for time synchronization (all sold separately). The cellular antenna port is not surge protected — local antenna mounting or an external surge suppressor is required for remote cellular antenna installations.

Note: Professional installation by trained RF technicians is required. The gateway must be properly earth-grounded before any other interface is connected.

Other channel plans: This product page covers the EU868 variant. Versions for US915, AU915, AS923 (Singapore and Japan) and BR915 channel plans are available on request — please contact us for a quote.

Cellular backhaul: The integrated 3G/4G LTE modem requires a SIM card with active data subscription — not included.

External antennas: Two LoRa antennas with N-Type male connectors are required to leverage Rx diversity (sold separately, max 8 dBi gain). A GPS antenna with N-Type male connector is also required for time synchronization. The cellular antenna port is optional but is not surge protected — local antenna mounting or an external surge suppressor is required for any remote cellular antenna installation.

Installation requirements: Professional installation by trained RF technicians is required. The gateway must be properly earth-grounded (¼″ two-hole lug) before any other interface is connected. Mounting structure must support a dead load of at least 136 kg.
