Laird Connectivity Sentrius IG60-BL654-LTE wireless IoT gateway

The Sentrius IG60-BL654-LTE wireless IoT gateway, from Laird Connectivity, features extensive connectivity capabilities. The gateway allows users to capture data from Bluetooth 5-enabled sensors, augment the data with cloud-managed edge intelligence and transmit it to the cloud via Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 with 2x2 MIMO or LTE wireless connectivity.

The gateway delivers efficient multi-band Cat 1 LTE connectivity with 3G/2G fallback, with required SIM and LTE data allowance activated. It is available in two variants: one with integrated Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT Greengrass and the other with a Linux build.

The AWS IoT Greengrass version includes managed IoT security services (such as a preconfigured AWS IoT Greengrass sandbox) and deployment tools. This variant allows users to deploy applications instantly over the air, and AWS IoT core enables data to flow directly to the cloud.

The Linux Build version is a long-term supported, open platform with Laird Connectivity’s Linux Buildroot platform and hardware root of trust. This version is suitable for engineering organisations with embedded Linux experience that require multi-wireless connectivity.

The gateway includes regulatory approvals for FCC, IC, CE, MIC and UL. LTE variants to date carry PTCRB, GCF and AT&T certifications. The gateway is suitable for applications such as IIoT, medical IoT, Bluetooth 5 sensor connectivity and smart buildings.
