Robustel to release next generation IoT gateways. Edge gateway series from Robustel to revolutionize the industrial computer + router market by providing products that are not only available at a mass market price point but that also offer specifications and features that customers need.
The Edge Gateway series from Robustel will initially launch with 3 product lines, of which the EG5100 and LG5100 with ARMv7 Architecture and EG5120 with ARMv8:
- The EG5100 – Industrial EDGE router with global 4G/LTE connectivity
- The EG5120 – Industrial router with global 5G connectivity (3GPP Release 16) and 2.3 TOPS NPU to support AI Applications
- The LG5100 – An industrial LoRaWAN EDGE Gateway with global 4G/LTE Backhaul.
To support the new hardware, Robustel are releasing a brand-new version of their popular Linux based operating system RobustOS, called RobustOS Pro. This new operating system offers customers a Linux Debian11 (Bullseye) environment with support for Docker based applications. This move to a broadly adopted platform allows Robustel customers to rapidly develop, test and deploy new applications in whatever language they are comfortable developing in; in addition to giving customers access to over 50,000 existing applications in the Debian repository.
With these products Robustel hopes to enable adoption in cutting edge IoT applications like:
- Robotics
- Smart Cities
- Automated/Autonomous Vehicles
- Camera based image recognition
- Real-Time Energy & Grid Management
Samples of Robustel’s Edge Gateway series are available now for proof of concept and design work from any of Robustel’s global distribution partners with mass market availability planned for Q4 2022.
