Gateways play a critical role in RFID-based fueling systems by acting as the communication bridge between local network devices and central management systems. They collect data from Tag Readers, RFID tags, and controllers, then securely transmit it to cloud-based or on-premise platforms for processing, analytics, and storage.
Designed for reliability in industrial and outdoor environments, gateways support multiple communication protocols including Ethernet, cellular (3G/4G/5G), and Wi-Fi to ensure constant connectivity. Advanced models feature data buffering, edge computing capabilities, and built-in security features such as encryption and VPN support. These capabilities help maintain data integrity even during connectivity interruptions and support real-time decision-making at the edge.
By centralizing and streamlining communication, gateways enhance the scalability, responsiveness, and intelligence of automated fueling operations, making them a vital component in modern fuel management infrastructure.
