congatec IoT gateway system

congatec’s IoT gateway system is application-ready and easily customisable for rapid field deployment. The gateway offers high levels of flexibility in terms of processing performance and software integration.

OEMs utilising the IoT gateway system benefit from a preconfigured, precertified IoT gateway that can easily connect a wide range of heterogeneous sensors and systems to cloud-based services. Target uses include Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications such as smart cities, smart agriculture, connected homes and vehicles, digital signage systems and other IoT applications.

The wireless connectivity of the system is scalable. Six internal USB ports and three miniPCIe slots are available and able to support LTE 3GPP modems, 2x Wi-Fi, 2x LAN with PoE and PROFINET features, low-power Bluetooth (BTLE) and 6LoWPAN. Other low-power wide area networks can be supported on request.

The housing is equipped to mount up to eight antennas supporting multiple wireless standards in parallel, while enhancing signal quality by utilising antenna diversity. The small size (200 x 230 x 40 mm³) metal housing is certified to IP53 protection class for outdoor applications.

The system supports scalable computing performance utilising Qseven modules. The gateway also supports the next generation of Intel Atom processors for deployment in emerging IoT gateway and edge computing application scenarios, up to and including high-availability fog computing systems.
