IoT gateways for telematics applications

Telematics – telecommunications and informatics – help to transfer mobile machinery data, in order to gather, store and process it in a cloud. Depending on the application, these data are for measuring and monitoring environmental parameters (e.g. temperature), machine data (e.g. position, fuel level), wear and tear data and logistics information.

Our IoT gateways are the key to connectivity – the hardware with which you can implement efficiency-raising telematics applications. Our gateways do not only enable applications such as condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, telemetry and software updates over-the-air – they are also prerequisite for the automation of mobile machinery.

International certifications

Our gateways are already certified for the EU, EFTA States, USA and Canada (green). Product certifications are planned for South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Russia (yellow). Do you need product certification for a specific country? Do not hesitate to contact us!

Free configurability

Based on the Linux operating system, the gateways are freely programmable and embedded in a fully configured Yocto build system. The open system with programming interfaces makes them universally applicable – full innovation capability for your applications.

Ideal network coverage and connectivity

Whether 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G in the future – our gateway portfolio supports all previously available mobile standards. The integrated modem manager constantly monitors and controls the connection quality. Therefore, your machine stays connected to the available network and has the best possible connectivity. A sudden network change in the field is not a problem. Our MCG is also equipped with two antennas. This antenna diversity ensures a higher data rate and better availability.

Performance

Whether simple applications with single-core NXP i.MX6 processor or high-end solutions with quad-core processor: Depending on your requirements, our gateways do not only enable standard applications, e.g. localization and data transfer, but also specific applications, such as M2M communication and software update over-the-air (FOTA).

Robustness

Extraordinary temperatures, vibration and dust – To meet demanding environmental conditions in the field, an IoT gateway must be robust. Our gateways already meet the requirements of protection classes IP5K2 and IP5K4, in the future IP65. This robustness makes the gateways ideal for use in mobile work machines such as tractors, excavators and harvesters. Find out here how we test our gateways in our in-house test centre.

Security

Your sensitive machine data is securely transferred and protected from unauthorized access. Our specially designed Chain-of-Trust concept offers you data security throughout the complete product life cycle, from product development until to end-of-life. The file system, communication, update and boot-mechanism are therefore encrypted and your machine is protected.
