Tools & calculators

Which Wiman gateway fits my project?

Answer four short questions about your deployment — backhaul, security, scale, capacity — and we recommend the right Wiman gateway model with a one-line ‘why’.

How does the gateway reach the cloud?

Pick the uplink your site can actually provide.

Do you need TLS / SSL secure publishing?

Banking, energy & utility deployments usually mandate TLS.

Dual-server / redundant cloud publishing?

Pushes the same telemetry to a primary + backup endpoint.

How many tags / registers will you poll?

Count every register pulled per cycle across all RS-485 slaves.

Selections update the match instantly.

How this is calculated

The picker maps four deployment variables onto Wiman’s product tiers using a deterministic decision table — the same shortlist our pre-sales engineers run on a discovery call. No data is sent anywhere.

  • Backhaul picks the network family — Ethernet, WiFi, 4G, or a 4G + wired/WiFi failover combo. LoRa selections steer you to the MAX series with a LoRa option.
  • TLS / dual-server requirements push the selection into the PRO tier (WT400M / WT600M / WT700M).
  • Tag count > 1500 with dual backhaul steers to the MAX tier (WT460M / WT470M) — high capacity plus automatic failover.
  • Tag count ≤ 1800 on a single backhaul with no TLS lands on the LITE tier (WT410M / WT610M / WT710M) — the lean, cost-effective build.
  • If nothing else matches, the picker falls back to WT410M as a safe default.

Assumptions

  • All Wiman gateways speak Modbus RTU + MQTT/HTTP — the picker is choosing the uplink + security + capacity envelope, not the protocol.
  • “Tags” counts every register pulled per polling cycle, summed across all RS-485 slaves on the bus.
  • PRO and MAX tiers ship with TLS, dual-server publishing and store-and-forward by default. LITE omits TLS to hit a leaner price point.
  • MAX adds automatic backhaul failover (4G ↔ wired or 4G ↔ WiFi) — recommended for sites where downtime is not acceptable.
  • For mixed deployments or very large fleets (10k+ tags across a site), talk to engineering — we will spec a multi-gateway layout.
