Specifications taken from the manufacturer datasheet.

Which version do I need?

Cellular is an optional build: the 4G LTE modem and magnetic cellular antenna are supplied on the cellular version only. The datasheet also notes DIN rail mounting is available on new hardware devices only, so confirm before ordering if you need it. The radio band group is fixed at manufacture: UK sites need the -868M build, which then covers EU868, IN865 and RU864.

Typical applications for the UG56

  • Smart building LoRaWAN coverage
  • Smart industry and factory sensor networks
  • Indoor sensor estates needing a built-in network server
  • Integrating LoRaWAN data into BMS or PLC systems over BACnet/Modbus
  • Sites needing Ethernet, Wi-Fi and 4G backhaul redundancy
  • Gateway fleet deployments acting as a server for blind-filling gateways

Frequency band

Supplied on EU868, the LoRaWAN band used in the UK and across Europe. That is the default and you do not need to ask for it — the -868M in the part number is the EU868 build.

The same UG56 unit also covers IN865 and RU864. Those bands share the 863–870 MHz radio with EU868, so one device can be set to any of them in its own configuration — no different part number needed.

CN470, US915, AU915, KR920 and AS923 are a different radio and therefore a different build. Milesight makes them and we can order them: tell us where the devices are being deployed and we will confirm the part number, price and lead time.

Not sure which band applies where? The Things Network publishes the LoRaWAN frequency plan for every country.

UG56 — frequently asked questions

How many sensors can the UG56 handle?

Around 2000 Class A/B/C devices at a 10-minute uplink interval, across 8 half-duplex channels on an SX1302 concentrator.

Does it need an external network server?

No. The UG56 has a built-in LoRaWAN network server with a Milesight codec library and custom codec support, multicast downlink and FUOTA. It is also compatible with mainstream servers including The Things Stack, ChirpStack, Actility and AWS if you prefer to use one.

How is the UG56 powered?

802.3af PoE over its single RJ45 WAN port, or 5 V / 2 A from the USB Type-C port. Typical consumption is 1.8 W with a maximum of 6.9 W.

What range should I expect?

Line of sight up to 15 km, and about 2 km in an urbanized environment. Receive sensitivity is -140 dBm at 292 bps and maximum transmit power is 27 dBm.

Can it feed a building management system?

Yes. Integration options are MQTT(s), HTTP(s), BACnet/IP, BACnet/SC, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU over TCP, so LoRaWAN data can be pushed into a BMS or PLC. Python SDK and Node-RED are also supported for custom logic.

How much does the Milesight UG56 Industrial LoRaWAN Gateway cost in the UK?

The Milesight UG56 Industrial LoRaWAN Gateway starts at £173.58 ex VAT from Indiott, with the exact figure depending on the variant you choose. Indiott is a UK distributor and invoices with VAT (PSI Technologies Ltd, VAT GB 730 2340 83). UK delivery is a flat £14.25 per order ex VAT, whatever the weight.

What is the lead time and delivery cost for the Milesight UG56 Industrial LoRaWAN Gateway?
