Description
The MeshConnect 2011 is a powerful Meshtech BLE Gateway with edge computing capabilities. It can communicate via Ethernet or LTE to ensure constant connectivity. The MeshConnect 2011 is flexible in terms of architecture, where you can have either an on-premise or cloud solution.
Configuration and monitoring of the gateway is available through the Meshtech Device Management Portal.
Supported Modes
- Connected
Properties
Note
Scan Window range is 5 - 95 %. It is highly recommended to not increase scan-window above 45 % (default). Increases beyond 45 % can negatively affect throughput.
Note
Reporting of 81.01 - Uptime was removed in version 5.0.0.

Antennas
2,4 GHz Bluetooth antenna is used for all variants. All antennas have the same SMA connector on gateway. The positions of LTE and Bluetooth antenna should not be swapped as both LTE and Bluetooth performance will be severely reduced.
BLE antenna
A long BLE antenna.
LTE antenna
A short LTE antenna.
GPS/GNSS antenna
A GPS/GNSS antenna with a cable.
MT MeshConnect 2011-A
Variant 0x02 uses two long antennas - Bluetooth and NA (not applicable). RJ45 port, which is located closer to the USB ports, needs to be used for LAN/DHCP.
MT MeshConnect 2011-B
Variant 0x03 has two antennas - one short LTE and one long Bluetooth.
MT MeshConnect 2011-C
Variant 0x04 has three antennas - one short LTE, one long Bluetooth and GPS/GNSS with a cable.
LTE
Device variants with LTE will report cellular network information using 91.10 - Cellular Network Information. This information can be used to approximately position the device, for example.
The modem status is sampled every 60 seconds.
GPS
Device variants with GPS will report position using property 91.20 - Geographic Point Location. If it is impossible to get a position/lock, a NULL value is reported.
The values for latitude and longitude have a precision of 4 decimal places (~11 meters).
Static IP
For devices with Ethernet it is possible to set static IP address etc. for the ethernet interface using property 91.30. Be careful when setting this, since you may not be able to reach the device if not set correctly.
We strongly recommend not changing this property. The device will use DHCP by default.
To disable static IP and use DHCP (default), write NULL (empty dictionary/array) to property 91.30.
Note
The gateway will reboot after writing to 91.30.
