Need to connect LoRaWAN and MQTT? The Weble WBox routes LoRaWAN MQTT natively: one gateway speaks both protocols and maps data points in real time — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

The protocols

LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN carries data from battery-powered sensors over several kilometres with very low power.

LoRaWAN driver →

MQTT

MQTT is the lightweight publish/subscribe protocol used by IoT devices and cloud brokers.

Example deployment

Typical scenario LoRaWAN sensor fleet to MQTT A smart-building rollout uses LoRaWAN sensors — occupancy, CO₂, temperature, leak — across many floors. The WBox takes the decoded uplinks from the LoRaWAN network server and publishes each as a tidy MQTT topic, so a cloud platform ingests the whole sensor fleet for dashboards, alerts and analytics.

How the WBox bridges LoRaWAN and MQTT

On the WBox you enable the LoRaWAN driver and the MQTT driver, then map each point: a value read on the LoRaWAN side — long-range, low-power wireless — is exposed on the MQTT side — the lightweight IoT publish/subscribe protocol — and vice-versa. Conversion, scaling and logic run on the gateway itself.

Capacity & limits

  • LoRaWAN — LoRaWAN scales with the network server; device count is bounded by gateway coverage and airtime, not by the WBox.
  • MQTT — MQTT imposes no point limit — topics scale with your broker and network.

On the WBox, a driver licence enables the whole protocol — there is no artificial per-point tier to unlock. Capacity scales with the gateway model, from the compact S103 to the E413: you are bounded by the field bus, not by your licence.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect LoRaWAN and MQTT?

LoRaWAN is long-range, low-power wireless and MQTT is the lightweight IoT publish/subscribe protocol. A single WBox gateway runs the LoRaWAN and MQTT drivers, speaks both protocols at once and maps the data points between them — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

Is the LoRaWAN ⇄ MQTT bridge bidirectional?

Yes. The WBox reads and writes on both sides: a value or command on the LoRaWAN side propagates to MQTT, and vice-versa.

Do I need a PC, a PLC or proprietary hardware?

No. The LoRaWAN and MQTT drivers are licence-activated on one WBox — no gateway PC, no intermediate PLC and no proprietary hardware.

Which WBox model do I need?

Any WBox with the LoRaWAN and MQTT driver licences. The online configurator recommends the right model from your interfaces and point count.
