Flexible, configurable, programmable IoT gateway of the future

Acal BFi is pleased to announce the addition of the ultra-flexible Sierra Wireless FX30 Programmable IoT gateway to its comprehensive IoT and Wireless communications portfolio. The device is the first of the next generation of ruggedized, programmable, and expandable embedded wireless gateways, and is now commercially available to European customers from the company. The device is ideally suited for both regional and global deployments, providing cellular connectivity, global banding combinations and numerous certifications, all in the same small, rugged industrial form factor. It can remotely monitor and manage hundreds of thousands of machines. Worldwide end-to-end security is implemented in every component of the system and, with expandable interfaces, the device can connect and integrate with new, existing and legacy systems. Thanks to the secure Linux-based Legato operating system embedded in the module, the IoT gateway can be integrated and operate in customer designs without the need for external systems and processors. Customers will now be able to process data in real-time at the edge of the network, with the device generating intelligence and alerts to the cloud or customer’s data centre. The company will directly support customers integrating this first-of-a-kind technology into their systems and designs and will further support customers without embedded processing experience, offering programming assistance with the open-source operating system from its dedicated IoT Competence Centre.
