KONE 4G Gateway, manufactured by KONE with KONE China & Asia Technology of Kunshan, China, has received a prestigious Red Dot Design Award in the Industrial Equipment, Machinery and Automation category, Red Dot announced in April. Improving connectivity of elevators by separating the antenna unit from the PCB assembly to create a strong wireless signal, KONE 4G Gateway features a trapezoidal shape that simplifies maintenance work. Signal lights can be seen from a distance. The product was designed to minimize the use of resources, and housing materials are recyclable. Due to its compact size and strong price-performance ratio, the device is also suitable for elevators in emerging markets, Red Dot observed, stating, “Thanks to its minimalist design, the company KONE 4G Gateway fits seamlessly and space-savingly into control cabinets and elevator shafts.”
