The gateway between radio loggers & ethernet or GPRS network
Ethernet - GPRS
Ethernet or GPRS Gateway: the gateway between the radio loggers and a database on your network
The Newsteo Gateway allows remote collection, through Ethernet (IP) or GPRS (GSM network), of data coming from several Newsteo loggers, and storage on a remote secured server.
The Newsteo Gateway exists in several versions, for indoor or outdoor uses, with a main power supply or solar panels supply.
How does it work?
The Logger equipped with a sensor takes the measure and transmits it by radio to the Gateway,
The Gateway transmits the measurements through Ethernet or GPRS to a central database,
- A real-time alert can be sent anywhere to the supervisor,
- The supervisor can access at any time to the measures, via Internet
Displaying of the measures from the database
- The web application WebMonitor:
– Thin Client solution, simply connect to the website www.newsteo-webmonitor.com
Data Base hosting
The data base is a MySQL standard. It can be hosted on a Newsteo’ server or by the client himself.

Force transmission
PFPN-COL92-001 : Button to force transmission
PFPN-COL11-001 & PFPN-COL51-001 : Magnet area : pass a magnet on it to force transmission
Data transmission
The Newsteo Gateway communicates with the remote Newsteo Webserver in ‘point-to-point’ mode, which limits the risk on the network itself. Newsteo has implemented the SSL protocol (port 443) to securize the data between the Gateway and the server.
The Newsteo Gateway product runs on a private operating system and does not use Linux or any other public OS. So, apart from the limited capabilities to communicate with Newsteo remote server, the Gateway does not contain any other generic network functions that would permit to enter Customer’s internal network through the Gateway.
