MiraUSB transforms any device equipped with a Unix operating system and a USB port into an industrial-grade wireless mesh gateway, enabling seamless MiraMesh connectivity. This compact yet powerful interface allows standard IPv6 UDP messages to be received directly by the host operating system from MiraMesh — one of the most robust and power-efficient mesh networking technologies available. Built on LumenRadio’s MWA_N3 module, MiraUSB delivers exceptional communication range within the 2.4 GHz ISM band, achieving up to 20 dBm output power. Both internal and external antenna configurations are available, ensuring maximum flexibility and performance across industrial and commercial environments.
By integrating MiraUSB, manufacturers and developers can dramatically reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-market. The device enables rapid testing and deployment across various platforms, whether developing on a laptop, testing on a Raspberry Pi, or implementing within a full-scale industrial gateway. Requiring only a standard USB port, MiraUSB simplifies connectivity while maintaining exceptional reliability and range. When paired with a USB cable, the gateway can remain enclosed inside a steel cabinet while the MiraUSB functions as an external antenna, maintaining optimal signal performance and network coverage even in challenging installations.
At the core of MiraUSB lies the power of MiraMesh — a wireless networking technology developed by LumenRadio to deliver unmatched reliability, scalability, and energy efficiency. MiraMesh incorporates patented Cognitive Coexistence technology, utilizing agile and adaptive frequency-hopping algorithms to avoid interference and achieve packet delivery rates exceeding 99% even in congested industrial environments. Its ultra-low-power operation allows routing nodes to function at current levels as low as 20 µA, making it one of the most efficient mesh networks on the market. The system’s large-scale mesh capabilities extend coverage over vast and complex areas, reducing the need for multiple gateways and enhancing cost-effectiveness in IoT deployments. Furthermore, MiraMesh supports concurrent operation with other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee through real-time radio time slicing, ensuring seamless communication across multiple network protocols.
MiraUSB offers up to 1,000 meters of range in line-of-sight conditions, with a maximum output power of 20 dBm and sensitivity rated at -93 dBm. It supports both internal and RP-SMA external antenna connections, providing flexibility for a variety of installation scenarios. Fully compliant with USB 2.0 standards, the device operates through a 5V USB interface with a maximum current draw of 100 mA, supporting both ARM and x86 architectures on Linux and macOS hosts. The 2.45 GHz ISM frequency band ensures global compatibility, while CE and FCC certifications confirm regulatory compliance.
Built to perform reliably in diverse environmental conditions, MiraUSB operates within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +55°C and relative humidity from 10% to 95% non-condensing, with an IP20 protection rating suitable for indoor use. Its conformance with international standards, including EN 300 328 v2.2.2 and FCC Part 15C for radio, EN 301 489-1/-17 for EMC, and IEC/EN 62368-1:2014 for electrical safety, further underscores its industrial-grade reliability and compliance.
With MiraUSB, users can effortlessly extend the capabilities of existing hardware into robust, scalable, and power-efficient wireless mesh networks, bridging the gap between modern IoT connectivity and industrial reliability.
