Your IoT Infrastructure.In a Box.
The merkaio edge pro is a turnkey edge appliance that replaces conventional IoT cloud platforms entirely. LoRaWAN, data management and visualization - locally, on your hardware. Individually configured and delivered pre-installed.
- Plug & Play
- 100% Offline-capable
- No Vendor Lock-In
Cloud isn't always the answer.
For critical infrastructure and sensitive production data, you need a solution that works where your data is generated.
Data Sovereignty
Sensitive production data sits in a cloud you don't control. Compliance requirements like KRITIS or TISAX become a constant headache.
Data stays with you
All processing happens locally in your network. Your data never leaves the premises.
Internet Dependency
The internet connection drops - and with it your sensors, alerts and dashboards. Production stops.
Always running. Even offline.
Your LoRaWAN network, alerting and dashboards continue to run autonomously. No cloud dependency.
Control Latency
Data has to travel to the data center and back. For real-time control, every millisecond counts.
Zero-latency processing
The server sits in your local LAN. No delays, no detours - data processing in milliseconds.
Everything included. From second 1.
We don't deliver an empty PC. The merkaio edge pro is a fully integrated ecosystem that works right away.
Industrial Firewall
Dedicated firewall cleanly separates your IoT network from corporate IT. Security by design.
LoRaWAN Hub
Manage hundreds of sensors and gateways locally. Full control over your radio infrastructure.
Dashboards & Alerting
Visualize data and manage alerts. Grafana or ThingsBoard - pre-installed and ready to go.
Individually Extensible
MQTT broker, Node-RED, custom services - we configure the box exactly to your requirements.
Big IoT platforms hate this.
While others sell you expensive cloud subscriptions that scale into infinity, we give you a transparent appliance that you actually own.
Their way
- Proprietary platforms with vendor lock-in - your data, their rules.
- Monthly cloud fees that grow with every sensor, every byte, every user.
- Black box systems - no access to your own infrastructure.
- Costs explode when you scale. 10 sensors? Fine. 1,000? Call sales.
The merkaio way
- 100% open source stack - ChirpStack, ThingsBoard, Grafana, Node-RED. No secrets.
- One-time hardware cost. Predictable. No per-sensor or per-byte fees.
- Full root access. Your box, your data, your rules. Forever.
- Same cost whether you run 10 or 10,000 sensors. The hardware is yours.
