OverviewThe SenseCAP M4 Square is an edge gateway designed to host multiple Web 3.0 and IoT applications. It supports deployment of CUMULUS FluxNode, Helium light hotspot and other dApps through a dApp center, providing decentralized compute and long-range LoRa/LoRaWAN coverage.
Key Features- Plug and Play: No-code deployment for multi-dApp setup without manual environment configuration.
- Multi-dApp Support: Deploy apps from the SenseCAP dApp center; current support for Flux and Helium with additional dApps planned.
- Cloud Service: Centralized cloud tools for purchase, deployment, device lifecycle management, Bluetooth onboarding and monitoring.
- Performance: Intel® Celeron® J4125 (2.0–2.7 GHz), 4 cores / 4 threads; built-in TPM 2.0 and ECC608 crypto chip for secure authentication.
- Low Power: Typical consumption ≈ 10 W (~7.2 kWh/month).
- Security: TPM 2.0 and ECC608 protect against software threats and unauthorized access.
Hardware OverviewSenseCAP M4 Square integrates a quad-core Intel® Celeron® J4125 CPU with an RP2040 co-processor, dual 2.5GbE ports, multiple wireless interfaces, 4K video output, 512 GB internal SSD and several expansion options.
