    Sphensor Gateway. Sphensor Gateway sends the received values to LSI LASTEM Cloud Service or to an MQTT broker, either within the company network or reachable from outside via the Internet. Sphensor Gateway communicates over the network via LAN network connection (Ethernet) or via Wi-Fi radio or 3G/4G mobile phone.
