01 · DECISION PATH

Start with the job the gateway must do

The decisive split is whether the site needs embedded ThinkLink. Environment, interfaces and mounting then identify the physical model.

OPEN / GD6

GD6 lightweight access and open design

Use GD61 indoors or GD62 for IP67 outdoor sites. Configure with gwTool6 and connect to an external platform.

 INDOOR / GD71 · GD73

Indoor edge services, two mounting options

GD71 mounts on a wall or stands freely. GD73 adds DIN rail mounting, RS-485 and DC 5–24 V input. Both include ThinkLink.

 OUTDOOR / GD72

Protected outdoor edge deployment

Choose IP67 protection, wide temperature operation, pole mounting and optional embedded ThinkLink.
02 · MAIN GATEWAYS

04 · TWO DEPLOYMENT PATHS

Use transparent forwarding or run edge services on site

A LoRaWAN gateway first connects end devices to a network server. When a local loop is required, the same hardware can also host NS, decoding and application capabilities at the edge.

  1. 01 / RADIO

    LoRaWAN end devices

    Sensors, meters and EdgeBus collectors connect over multi-frequency LoRaWAN.

  2. 02 / GATEWAY

    GD6 / GD7

    GD6 handles radio access and backhaul. GD7 can also run the ThinkLink network server and applications on the gateway.

  3. 03 / NETWORK

    External or built-in NS

    Connect to ThinkLink, ChirpStack and TTN, or enable the built-in network server.

  4. 04 / APPLICATION

    Business systems

    Deliver data to ThinkLink Cloud, an on-site application or a customer platform.

A / COMPATIBILITY

Mainstream network-server support

Connect to ThinkLink, ChirpStack, The Things Stack / TTN and network servers using Basic Station or GWMP.

  • Basic Station LNS / CUPS
  • GWMP / Packet Forwarder
  • Dual network-server configuration
B / EDGE

Embedded ThinkLink where the site needs it

GD71, GD72 and GD73 include ThinkLink for local NS, decoding, history, thing models and dashboards. GD61 and GD62 connect to an external platform.

  • GD71 · Indoor edge
  • GD73 · industrial indoor edge
  • GD72 · IP67 outdoor edge
  • GD6 · external NS / platform
C / BACKHAUL

Multiple backhaul links

Ethernet, Wi-Fi and 4G cover different field-network conditions with connectivity checks and link selection.

  • Ethernet
  • Wi-Fi AP / backhaul
  • 4G CAT1 (confirm regional bands)

06 · DIRECT ANSWERS

Gateway selection, answered directly

These answers summarize the decisive differences and link back to the maintained manuals.

Which gateways include ThinkLink?

GD71, GD72 and GD73 include complete ThinkLink for indoor, IP67 outdoor and industrial indoor DIN rail deployments respectively. GD6 connects to external ThinkLink or another compatible network server.

Read the GD7 configuration guide ↗

What is the main difference between GD6 and GD7?

GD6 uses ESP32-S3 for lightweight forwarding and open designs. GD7 runs Ubuntu and can host complete ThinkLink on the gateway. Select the model by installation, interfaces and power.

Read the GD6 configuration guide ↗

Which gateway should I use outdoors?

Choose GD62 for an external platform or GD72 for embedded ThinkLink. Both are IP67; power, temperature and interfaces must follow the model-specific manual and ordering configuration.

Read the GD72 manual ↗

Where can I buy PMC51 modules for the GD6 open design?

Contact ManThink to purchase the PMC51x radio module. PMC514 covers the 400 MHz family; PMC518 covers 800 MHz and higher bands. Provide regional bands, quantity and host interface requirements to confirm the model.
