GateManager™ is the central component of Secomea’s Industry solution. The GateManager M2M Server operates as a termination point for all LinkManagers and SiteManagers. All connections and the encrypted traffic between LinkManagers and devices controlled by SiteManagers are handled by the GateManager where also all events are logged.

The GateManager is typically offered as a service hosted by Secomea. You will receive an isolated domain on the GateManager and benefit from central hosting and back-up by Secomea. You can, however, choose to host your own GateManager.

EasyService versus One-time payment

For up to 100 SiteManagers and 2 LinkManager floating licenses, you are covered by the EasyService FREE maintenance agreement and only pay for the initial server license. Going above this, you will be charged a small quarterly fee.

If you have your own GateManager server you can choose between the EasyService maintenance agreement, or a one-time payment agreement where you pay a fee as you expand your installations and do not pay any maintenance.
