LIGHTHOUSE®
Lighthouse is Opengear’s secure, centralized, vendor-agnostic platform that gives IT teams complete visibility and control across every device, every site, all the time.
Skip the layers. Get straight to work.
One change. Every node.
Stop making the same configuration change hundreds of times across hundreds of Opengear devices. Build your template and structure your sites once in Lighthouse and push it across a segment, or your entire fleet simultaneously. Consistent, fast, and done.
Every node. Always up to date.
Firmware and cellular maintenance shouldn’t mean a week of truck rolls. Lighthouse lets you push updates across your entire Opengear fleet in bulk, targeting specific nodes by site, role, or group, so you stay current, stay secure, and stay at your desk.
