Availability: InStock

The TEKTELIC KONA Mega Ex (MAT32NEU868) is a high-capacity outdoor LoRaWAN gateway certified for installation in explosive atmospheres — ATEX and IECEx Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust) classified locations such as refineries, chemical processing plants, oil & gas pipelines, mining sites, and grain handling facilities. This Ethernet-only EU868 TDD variant provides 32 + 4 Rx and 4 Tx channels with double simultaneous Tx capability — supporting up to 12 million Rx messages per day. Two N-Type LoRa antenna ports enable Rx diversity, improving end-device SNR and link budget, while the integrated bandpass filter delivers 75 dB Tx-to-Rx isolation and strong out-of-band rejection of cellular and paging interference. Housed in a hardened aluminium IP67 enclosure with rugged M12 industrial Ethernet connector, 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 are available on request — please contact us for a quote.

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).

Note: This gateway is certified for use in ATEX and IECEx Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust) classified locations only. Installation, operation, and maintenance must comply with the applicable hazardous area standards and must only be performed by qualified personnel familiar with explosion-protected equipment.
