Why Zero-Touch Provisioning?
Slow, Manual Configurations?
Manually provisioning LoRaWAN gateways takes time and delays deployment.
Sending Credentials in Plain Format?
Sharing credentials in plain files like Excel creates security risks.
Scaling Your Network?
Pre-configuring gateways manually doesn’t scale and causes errors as networks grow.
Lack of Security?
ZTP pre-configures gateways securely at the factory, ready to connect upon delivery.
What is Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)?
ZTP is a factory-based provisioning process for LoRaWAN gateways. Gateways are pre-configured with certificates and settings, so they are ready to deploy when received. This eliminates manual setup in the field.
Automated Provisioning at the Factory
ZTP ensures that gateways are fully provisioned during the factory setup. This includes securely loading unique TLS certificates and configuring all necessary settings, eliminating the need for manual intervention after deployment.
Secure, Efficient, and Scalable
With secure factory-level certificate management, ZTP authenticates every gateway before it leaves the factory. This streamlines the process, saves time, and reduces security risks associated with manual setups.
End-to-End Automation
From frequency plan selection to CUPS and LNS key generation, ZTP automates critical steps in the provisioning process. It ensures seamless management of authentication and configuration, enabling efficient deployment at scale.
How ZTP Solves Your Problems
No Manual Configuration
ZTP pre-configures gateways, saving time and effort.
Secure Provisioning
Each gateway is pre-loaded with unique credentials at the factory.
Easily Scalable
Pre-provisioning LoRaWAN gateways ensures fast and error-free scaling.
Supporting Leading Network Servers
ZTP works seamlessly with LoRaWAN gateways using LoRa Basics™ Station. It ensures secure and automated integration with major network servers.
The Things Industry (TTI)
ZTP uses mutual TLS (mTLS) for secure provisioning with The Things Stack.
AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN®
ZTP integrates with AWS IoT for automated, secure provisioning.
Future plans?
We are expanding ZTP to support more LoRaWAN networks.
How ZTP Works
Select how you want to manage your gateway's CA:
- LNS CA: Fast setup through API integration with the LoRa Network Server.
- Customer CA: Manage your own CA and send a Yubikey to the factory.
- Managed CA: RAK handles CA management and renewals for you.
