IQ3 is the current-generation gateway on the Nebula platform, connecting Salto BLUEnet locks to the cloud over Ethernet with WiFi or PoE. It is the standard gateway for a building moving to real-time cloud management, in black or white.

Where this model fits

  • Cloud-managed buildings on the Nebula platform
  • Real-time access and remote opening
  • Sites with structured network (PoE) available

Parent product line

IQ3 is a configuration of the Salto IQ product line. See the parent line page for the full credential stack, PMS integration list, and brand-standard notes that apply across every Salto IQ configuration.

How this model is configured

Every Salto lock is composed to your doors during scoping: finish, mortise and function type, credential technology (BLE, NFC, RFID, with mag-stripe or PIN fallback where needed), and handing. RevKey confirms each selection at the site survey and configures the final composed part number with you, so the lock that ships matches your door prep and brand standard.

Where IQ3 fits, and where it doesn’t

EnvironmentIndoor
Form factorGateway / hub
Ideal trafficVery heavy traffic An always-on cloud gateway; duty is continuous network service, not door cycles. Coverage and placement are the design questions, not traffic.

Best for

  • Putting BLUEnet (and RFnet) locks online for real-time Salto KS / Nebula management
  • Buildings needing live door status and remote opening
  • Sites that want cellular fallback (SIM connectivity) on the full KS IQ hub

Not ideal for

  • Offline data-on-card-only Salto Space deployments that do not need cloud
  • Spread-out sites without a repeater and coverage plan
  • Per-door sizing (gateways serve clusters of nearby locks, not single doors)
