Wireless networks are formed around a Gateway, which acts as the wireless network master device, and one or more Nodes (magnetic detectors). The communication between gateway and magnetic detectors is based on the Lora technology which is long range and low power. The gateway communicates with a maximum of 150 wireless detectors. The data received from the detectors can be retrieved on the gateway using Modbus protocol on a RS485 line. The LOGAT gateway has also several digital outputs that can be used to show the status of some detectors.

People and other objects that do not interfere with the magnetic field are not detected. The detector is equipped with lithium batteries and can achieve 5-8 years autonomy depending on the number of transmissions to be done.

The gateway has also a display and three buttons that allow a basic configuration of the sensors and can show the data about sensors detections.
