Open gateway design, built to be yours

GD6 is a low-cost LoRaWAN gateway design based on ESP32. Its hardware and software are planned to become open source in August 2026.

Native LoRaWAN NS

A complete network server is built in: OTAA/ABP activation, full gateway and device lifecycle, and live NS/AS traffic for fast debugging.

An AI-friendly low-code platform powered by JavaScript

Use JavaScript across thing models, decoders, RPC, triggers and forwarders, so AI can generate, explain and iterate business logic more effectively.

Free independent deployment

Deploy on your own network with Docker Compose. Keep data on-prem, with no device cap or licence fee.

Revive the installed base

Modbus, DL·T645, CJ·T188 and M-Bus wired meters go wireless through EdgeBus. One collector serves a whole RS-485 bus.

And when you need more

Upgradable edge computing with JavaScript

Write EdgeBus logic in JavaScript, compile it, and upgrade field devices remotely through LoRaWAN FUOTA.

Protocol integration for installed devices

Use EdgeBus and forwarders to bring Modbus, M-Bus, DL/T645 and CJ/T188 devices into one data model.

Alerts that reach your team

Four severity levels, delivered to email, WeCom, DingTalk, Telegram and Slack.

Keep ChirpStack and add ThinkLink application capabilities

Connect ChirpStack v4 and ThinkLink with MQTT forwarders for bidirectional uplink and downlink routing, while reusing existing ChirpStack decoder scripts.

  1. 1Connect the ChirpStack and ThinkLink AS MQTT brokers
  2. 2Configure separate uplink and downlink forwarders
  3. 3Keep using existing ChirpStack decoder scripts

One platform, not a stack

Remove one module from your architecture

The usual LoRaWAN setup pairs a network server with a separate application platform and dashboards, then keeps them integrated. ThinkLink is all of it, installed once.

The usual way
  • A LoRaWAN network server
  • A separate application platform
  • A dashboarding tool
  • Integration to wire them together
ThinkLink
  • Native LoRaWAN network server
  • Application platform and dashboards
  • One install, one data model
  • Free to self-host, no limits

EdgeBus · Installed base

Digitize legacy wired
devices faster

Countless Modbus and M-Bus meters still run in the field. EdgeBus and KC-series collectors take them wireless. One collector serves a whole RS-485 bus, with no rewiring.

One model, cloud to edge to gateway

Write thing models, RPC and triggers once, then move between three deployment forms. Pilot in the cloud, self-host on your network, or embed in the gateway.

Compare deployment options
Cloud

Ready to use

Official SaaS, zero ops, ideal for pilots and small to mid deployments.

  • Sign up and go
  • Free tier
  • Public model library
Independent deployment

Self-hosted

Linux + Docker Compose, data local, low latency.

  • Data stays on-prem
  • Unlocks BACnet / Modbus TCP
  • No licence fee
In-gateway

One box is the platform

NS embedded in the gateway hardware, no server needed.

  • Gateway is the platform
  • Installed-device protocol integration
  • One-click remote sync

Deploy on your own network

Deploy ThinkLink on an Ubuntu or Debian x64 server with Docker Compose. Keep data local, with no licence fee or device cap.
