Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gateway equipment, in particular to a heterogeneous network interconnection gateway device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's awareness of energy conservation, traditional lighting systems used in large lighting places such as underground garages that require long-term lighting are beginning to be replaced by smart lighting systems.

[0003] Smart lighting must rely on a gateway to achieve Internet access and interconnection. Traditional gateways use a single Internet access and single device networking method (such as WiFi, Zigbee, BLE Mesh, etc.), which has a single networking method and low stability.

[0004] WiFi is a widely used wireless local area network (WLAN) technology with high bandwidth, strong wall penetration, and wide coverage. However, its power consumption is relatively high and connections may be unstable in some scenarios. BLE Mesh is an extension of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology that supports multi-hop communication and offers advantages such as low power consumption, low cost, and easy deployment. However, its transmission bandwidth is relatively low and its wall penetration is weak. 5G is the fifth generation of mobile communication technology, featuring ultra-high speeds, a large number of connections, and ultra-low latency, but its disadvantages include high price and data charges. Ethernet is a wired network technology with stability, high speed, and reliability, and is widely used in local and metropolitan area networks (LANs). Sub 1G WiFi (IEEE 802.11ah) is a low-power, long-range wireless communication technology designed by the Wi-Fi Alliance for the Internet of Things. It operates in the sub-1 GHz spectrum, offering low power consumption and longer transmission distance, but is relatively expensive and has low adoption. USB NCM networks can emulate USB-based network ports, enabling a variety of network topologies. Single-technology uplink and downlink gateways have inherent technical flaws and lack flexibility.

[0005] Therefore, improvements need to be made and a six-network heterogeneous intelligent gateway needs to be designed. Utility Model Content
