We have a requirement to utilise the Losant service on a site which operates on a closed network with no connection to the “internet”.  
Just wondering if an Edge server can be used without continuous connectivity to the Losant cloud?  
I.e. we deploy the workflows to the edge server in the lab then install it in the field. Obviously we wouldn’t be able to make any changes without physically being on site.

thanks

Yes, the Losant Edge Agent can run indefinitely without any internet connection, as long as it had a connection at some point to receive workflows.

The workflows are stored in a local database and will begin running again automatically on any system reboot with or without an internet connection.
