Description
Netmore Group, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is a global IoT network operator founded in 2010, focusing on building and operating low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) infrastructure based on LoRaWAN® technology. The company is dedicated to providing highly reliable and scalable connectivity solutions to utilities, real estate, industrial, and enterprise clients, driving digital transformation and sustainability.
Netmore offers various service models, including public and private LoRaWAN network deployment, Platform as a Service (PaaS), and seamless integration with major cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT Core. Its network architecture adopts a star topology, supporting bidirectional communication, end-to-end encryption, and multi-tenant management to ensure data security and system stability. Additionally, the Netmore LoRaWAN portal provides centralized management for gateways and devices, supporting automatic failover and real-time monitoring to ensure high network availability and performance.
This guide mainly demonstrates how to connect a UG65 gateway to the Netmore platform and add an AM103 device (note: AM103 is used here as an example; readers can replace it with their own devices as needed) .
Requirement
- Gateway Model: UG65 (UG56, UG67 also supported)
Sensor Model: AM103
Frequency Band: US915 (used in this demonstration)
Note: The Netmore platform supports all LoRaWAN frequency bands (e.g., EU868, US915, AS923, etc.). Your account may be initially provisioned with EU868, but other bands can be enabled upon request.
Configuration
Step 1: Applying for a Platform Account
First, visit Building the leading Global LoRaWAN Network | Netmore Group
Click "Contact us" on the page and fill in the required information:
After submitting the form, the website will create an account based on your request. Please monitor your email for confirmation and login credentials.
Step 2: First Login
Visit: https://portal.blink.services/login and fill in your account and password, then click “LOGIN”:
Normally, the platform will automatically create default Network Provider and Service Provider profiles for your account, as shown below:
Network Provider Info :
Service Provider Info :
At this point, your account is ready to use, and the initial check is complete.
Step 3: Creating a Gateway
Follow the interface instructions as shown below:
Notes:
● All frequency bands are supported
● In this guide, we use the Basic Station connection method.
● Fill in other parameters based on your actual situation.
That completes the gateway creation process on the platform. Next, we will access the gateway’s web management interface to configure relevant parameters.
Step 4: Gateway Configuration
a).Disable the Built-in Network Server
Log into the gateway’s management interface and disable the built-in LNS (LoRa Network Server) feature as shown:
b).Configure Packet Forwarding Parameters
Next, configure the packet forwarding address.
Refer to the Netmore Group Portal Docs to obtain key parameters, as shown below:
Input the LNS address and upload the downloaded CA certificate to the gateway as illustrated.
Wait a moment and check that the Basic Station status is “Connected.”
Step 5: Gateway PROVISION
Return to the Netmore interface and follow the steps shown:
Locate the newly added gateway using its serial number (SN) and click it:
Click the “PROVISION” button and wait a few moments:
Click “OK” to complete the gateway activation.
At this point, the data link between your gateway and Netmore is successfully established.
You can refer to the image below to verify the configuration:
Step 6: Adding sensors
Next, we will use AM103 as an example.
You can add sensors in two ways:
a).Single Device Registration (for testing)
Use the portal UI to manually add a device:
● Provide DevEUI, AppEUI, and AppKey
● Save the device
● Provision and activate it
Please follow the screenshots below to proceed:
Fill in the parameters as shown.
Note:
This is only a pre-configuration step , the AppKey and other details will be configured later.
After creation, perform a device search:
Locate the recently added AM103 device using its serial number (SN), and click to enter its settings and complete the remaining configuration:
Wait a moment and check the data uplink status of the AM103 device as shown:
Additionally, readers can configure GPS or other metadata for the sensor based on actual use cases.
b).Bulk Device Upload (Recommended for Production)
- Navigate to the Device Management page:
- Download the Excel Template
- Fill in device information including DevEUI, AppKey, AppEUI, etc.
- Upload the file to register multiple devices at once
Devices will be automatically provisioned during upload
This method is more efficient and ideal for large-scale onboarding.
At this point, both your gateway and sensor are successfully connected to the Netmore platform, with real-time data transmission established.
Step 7: Data Forwarding to Third-party Platforms
Instead of viewing decoded data directly in the portal, Netmore recommends exporting your data to external platforms for decoding and visualization.
Using HTTP Integration:
- Go to the Service Providers section on the portal:
- Create a new HTTP endpoint:
- Configure:
- Save and test the connection
On the http server side , you will see the data received as following:
By default, Netmore delivers encrypted payloads, and customers typically decode payloads on their own platform using the device decoder.
