Item# (PN): GW-001-SERIES Shipping and Payment
GW-001 Series gateways are designed for long range performance and ease of use. They aggregate data from all connected sensors and transmit it to the Omega Link Cloud where it can be securely accessed from your PC, tablet or phone.
Long Range
The Wireless Gateways utilize Sub GHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology to ensure robust, long range communications to Omega Link Smart Sensors. Transmission ranges of up to 1.2 km can be achieved when the sensor is powered with the standard AA batteries, and transmission ranges of up to 3.2 km can be achieved with a Smart Sensor in range boost mode powered by a standard external 5V USB power supply.
Plug and Play
The Omega Link Gateway is easily paired to Omega Link Smart Sensors with the press of a button and will automatically show up on your Omega Link Cloud account. Local data logging for your Smart Sensor devices keeps your data secure in the event of a power or network outage. Reports, History, and E-mail alerts from the Omega Link Cloud keep you informed on the status of all your vital processes.
Secure
Omega Link wireless products are designed with state of the art security features to protect your data with robust AES256 encryption and advanced PKA-EC521bit (NIST) elliptic-curve cryptography to protect your data. The gateway features a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) secure hardware element which protects the safety of all encryption keys and uses X.509 device certificates for secure communication between the gateway and the Omega Link Cloud.
Gateways
Wireless Standard: GW-001-2
This high performance wireless gateway seamlessly connects to up to 256 Omega Link Smart Sensor devices. The GW-001-2 also features Modbus RTU RS232/RS485 connections to enable seamless integration of industry standard Modbus RTU devices. Standard Ethernet connectivity ensures fast, easy connection to the Omega Link Cloud.
Wireless Pro: GW-001-3
The Wireless Pro adds a second Ethernet port for Modbus TCP device compatibility and two USB ports to enable local smart probe connections. It also features power over Ethernet (POE) which enables the gateway to be remotely powered.
Wired Standard: GW-001-0
This version is designed specifically for wired applications. It features standard Ethernet connectivity to the Cloud, plus both Modbus RTU RS232/ RS485 and Modbus TCP connectivity suitable for a wide range of wired applications.
Up to 256 smart sensors
256 sensors are supported at typical update intervals, on the order of 60 minutes, higher data rates or adverse environmental conditions may diminish the number of sensors supported.

Upgrade Legacy Systems to IIoT and Achieve More
Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT is a prerequisite for industries looking to embrace digital transformation. It is through this connected ecosystem that businesses gain increased visibility in their processes, ensure equipment uptime, perform predictive maintenance, and increase productivity and profitability.
However, realizing these benefits through smart factory initiatives is more challenging than it may seem. The most common obstacle is collecting operational data from legacy machines and communicating that data to the cloud...
How to Connect MODBUS Devices to the Omega Link
Industrial automation systems are expensive assets, designed to offer reliable performance for years. Typically, industrial systems last for decades. It is impractical than to discard these existing systems when new technology becomes available.
So, how do businesses remain competitive and efficient if they cannot afford to adopt new technology? The scenario is common today for most industrial setups...
