The problem this product exists to solve

Most BMS engineers know LoRaWAN exists. Most have not deployed it — not because it doesn't work, but because the integration path into Niagara 4 has never been clear. A gateway shows up. The LNS (LoRaWAN Network Server) is cloud-hosted somewhere. The BACnet output requires a third-party driver. The sensor data arrives, but mapping it into Niagara takes a full day of forum searching.

The KONA MICRO Gen2T solves this at the architecture level. The LNS is embedded inside the gateway — no cloud dependency, no external server, no IT conversation about firewall rules. The gateway joins sensors, decodes payloads, and outputs native BACnet and Modbus directly. Niagara sees it as just another device on the network.

When this is done properly, LoRaWAN stops being an unknown and becomes a tool you reach for on the next project without hesitation.

Why the KONA MICRO Gen2T is Ready For Anything®

🟢 Ready for Today

• Embedded LNS (LoRaWAN Network Server) — join management, payload decoding, and uplink routing all happen inside the gateway; no external server, no cloud account required on day one
• Native BACnet and Modbus output — Niagara 4 discovers sensors as standard BACnet objects; no custom driver, no middleware, no manual point mapping beyond what you'd do with any other device
• 8 receive channels, Class A/B/C support — handles mixed sensor estates from a single gateway; different reporting intervals, different device classes, one piece of hardware
• 4-hour internal battery backup — if mains power drops, the gateway stays up and your sensors keep reporting; your client's BMS does not go blind during a power interruption

🔵 Ready for Tomorrow

• LTE backhaul option — if the Ethernet run to the plant room is not viable, cellular backhaul keeps the gateway connected; useful for phased fit-outs where network infrastructure follows the IoT deployment
• OTA firmware updates — the gateway can be updated remotely; no site visit required to apply security patches or add new sensor profiles
• Scalable sensor estate — start with 10 sensors, grow to 200; the KONA MICRO handles high-density deployments without gateway replacement
• KONA Link LNS supports multi-tenant configuration — one gateway can serve multiple client environments on the same physical network

🔐 Ready for Security

• Telecom-grade LoRaWAN security — AES-128 encryption at network and application layer as standard; data in transit is encrypted end to end without any configuration required
• Local LNS removes cloud dependency — sensor data never leaves the building unless you route it there; removes a class of risk for clients with data governance requirements
• Long hardware lifecycle — TEKTELIC manufactures to carrier-grade standards; 15–20 year MTBF design target, built for real infrastructure not consumer IoT refresh cycles
• Government procurement compliant — suitable for public sector and education projects where supply chain longevity and security standards are formally evaluated

🔗 Ready for Integration

• BACnet IP and Modbus TCP native output — no translation layer; Niagara 4, J2 Innovations FIN, and any BACnet-compliant supervisor reads sensor data directly
• Multi-vendor sensor support — pairs with Milesight, MClimate, Enless, or TEKTELIC sensors; all from one INNON conversation
• Coming soon: Innon LoRaWAN driver for Niagara 4 — commission and manage TEKTELIC devices directly from Niagara Workbench; contact us to join the beta
• REST API available — for cloud dashboard integration alongside BACnet/Modbus output

The video covers the complete workflow:

1. Physical setup — power on, Ethernet connection, access to KONA Link web interface
2. Sensor onboarding — adding a device profile, entering DevEUI and AppKey
3. BACnet server configuration — setting IP, port, and device instance
4. Niagara discovery — auto-discover in Workbench, verifying the BACnet device appears
5. Point mapping — confirming sensor values are live in Niagara
6. First data — watching sensor values update in real time

The whole process takes one afternoon. If you want Innon to walk your team through this on a call — just ask. We have done it.

From good systems to great outcomes

• No more middleware conversations — sensor data flows directly into Niagara as BACnet objects; nothing new to explain to the client
• Cleaner project handovers — the embedded LNS means no cloud service to hand over, no third-party login to manage, no subscription that lapses six months later
• One gateway, ten years — OTA firmware, no gateway replacement as sensor counts grow, hardware lifecycle that outlasts the typical building retrofit cycle

The result is less firefighting, cleaner operation, and a gateway that keeps working long after the commissioning team has left.

How this fits into a Ready For Anything® solution

On its own, the KONA MICRO Gen2T is a well-engineered LoRaWAN gateway with an embedded LNS and native BACnet output. In a full architecture — paired with TEKTELIC COMFORT, VIVID, BREEZE, or TUNDRA sensors, integrated into Niagara 4, with documented point maps and a commissioning walkthrough from Innon — it becomes the foundation of a LoRaWAN sensor estate your client won't call you about in three years.

Innon supports the system thinking that makes the hardware actually work in real buildings — not just on the day of commissioning.

Who this product is for

Designed for:

• BMS system integrators specifying LoRaWAN for the first time who need a clean Niagara 4 integration path
• Controls engineers retrofitting environmental monitoring into buildings where cable runs are impractical
• Facilities engineers requiring a local, cloud-independent sensor network for data governance compliance
• Contractors on public sector, education, or healthcare projects where supply chain standards are evaluated at procurement

Not ideal for:

• Outdoor deployments — specify the KONA ENTERPRISE Gen2T (MOEN2TNEU868) for outdoor or harsh environments
• High-RF urban environments — the KONA ENTERPRISE with its integrated RF cavity filter is the better specification
• PoE-only installations — the KONA MICRO ships with an AC/DC adaptor; check your installation constraints before ordering

Typical applications

• Multi-floor commercial office — IAQ and occupancy across 15+ zones into Niagara 4 via BACnet, one KONA MICRO per floor, no cable runs, no middleware
• School building retrofit (CF25-compliant) — CO₂, temperature, and humidity into existing BMS; gateway in plant room, sensors ceiling-mounted in classrooms
• Healthcare facility — temperature, humidity, and air quality in wards and clinical areas; local LNS keeps patient data on the building network
• Historic or listed building — no core drilling, no trunking; LoRaWAN through walls and floors without structural intervention
• Pharmaceutical cold-chain storage — TUNDRA sensors reporting into Niagara via the KONA MICRO; audit trail maintained locally
• Property management portfolio — one KONA MICRO per building, remote commissioning via LTE, energy and IAQ data into a central supervisor
