The Gateway is needed to let devices, such as GoBright Connect, communicate with the GoBright Platform. It uses a Zigbee Mesh network within the 2.4 GHz band to communicate with other devices. WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and some other devices make use of this same bandwidth, therefore proper planning is necessary. Before installing the Gateway we have a few pointers that should be taken into account:

Possible interference when using multiple devices within the 2.4 GHz band
Configuration of the WiFi network for optimal performance
Configuration of the Gateway for optimal performance
Configuration of other devices
