Crafted for serious IoT.

If you want to transmit your data over LoRaWAN, you can either setup a complicated and expensive private network, or go with free community networks that only offer limited coverage and redundancy. Let’s change that!

Controllino Hotspot is a LoRaWAN gateway compatible with Helium. Helium enables everyone to contribute to a public, decentralized IoT network and earn HNT rewards by providing coverage and transferring data packets. With almost 500.000 globally available access points, Helium Network is the largest open LoRaWAN network providers to date.

Get ready for

THE IOT REVOLUTION.

Helium Network compatible & MORE TOKENS AVAILABLE

Thanks to the power of LoRaWAN & Helium Network, your hotspot will earn HNT for providing network coverage and transferring data packets. And thanks to MultiMine, you can now also mine other coins in parallel to HNT to increase your ROI and profit.

HIGH END SECURITY WITH ECC608

The state-of-the-art ECC608 crypto chip from Microchip Technology offers ultra-secure encryption and advanced security features to keep your swarm keys safe.

Next Generation
SX1302/3 LoRa Chip

With the Semtech SX1302/3, you get the latest generation of LoRa® chips with dramatically increased power-efficiency, optimized thermal properties and highest performance.

OTA Updates

Hotspots should get better over time, not worse. We remotely push new features and improvements on a regular basis to maximize the performance and reliability of your Hotspot device.

8GB RAM for blazing fast sync

Forget about waiting for almost a week or even longer until your hotspot is fully synced. We packed 8GB RAM into this beast, which enables the hotspot to be fully synced within 24 hours or less, if your internet connection speed allows it.

Pre-Orders fully refundable

Some hotspot vendors make it really difficult to refund orders. With Controllino, you can sleep well: as long as your product isn't shipped, you can fully refund your order at any time - no questions asked.

Let's change the status quo.

From startups to large enterprises: over 2500 companies use CONTROLLINO products in both prototyping and production environments.

Now, we are on to disrupt the IoT landscape. Not just by building gateways with advanced features like Helium compatibility, but with a full hardware and software ecosystem. Why?
Because we truly believe in open source and decentralization.

Built by a team of industry proven experts.

Controllino is an industry-leading manufacturer of industrial control and automation systems based on open hardware. Our customers range from small startups and hobbyists, to large enterprises like Google, Boeing, Volkswagen and many more.

We shipped over 100.000 devices to 140+ countries worldwide. All of our current PLCs meet the highest industry & electronic safety standards.

With Controllino Hotspot, we are aiming to achieve the same high standard, and we hope to prove our expertise to the Helium & LoRa community as we already did in the industrial automation field.
