TEKTELIC Enhances Gateway Performance to Help You Run Larger, Faster IoT Networks

TEKTELIC is advancing the performance of its LoRaWAN® gateways with expanded support for lower spreading factors, now extending below the traditional LoRaWAN® range (SF12–SF7) to include SF6 and SF5.  

This enhancement enables higher data rates, reduced airtime, and improved network efficiency in high-density deployments — all while maintaining the proven reliability and stability TEKTELIC gateways are known for. 

Why it matters for you  

• Scale with confidence. Support for lower spreading factors lets your network handle more sensors in the same area with consistent performance.  

• Longer device battery life. Reduced airtime helps extend device battery life and minimize maintenance, lowering total operational effort.  

• Higher data throughput. Lower spreading factors allow devices to transmit data more efficiently, supporting faster updates and improved overall responsiveness of IoT applications.  

• Consistent reliability. LoRaWAN® automatically adapts transmission settings, including these new data rates, to changing conditions — ensuring stable connectivity even in complex or interference-prone environments. 

How It Improves Network Efficiency 

In LoRaWAN®, spreading factors balance range and speed. Lower spreading factors send data faster and use less airtime. 

By supporting the full range and intelligently selecting the right setting, TEKTELIC gateways ensure your network runs efficiently, keeping data flowing smoothly while conserving device energy. This means: 

• Greater network capacity and smooth performance at scale.  

• Reduced airtime and extended battery life for end devices.  

• Higher data throughput for time-sensitive or frequent data transmissions.  

• Reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor environments. 

These performance enhancements reflect TEKTELIC’s commitment to efficiency, reliability, and customer success. Whether you’re expanding your network, adding new sensors, or connecting new sites, your TEKTELIC gateways are ready to support that growth.
