AirLink® Raven RV50 gateway provides
mission-critical LTE communication and remote monitoring for
industrial IoT applications, including utilities, oil and gas, and
infrastructure
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW) today announced the
launch of the AirLink® Raven RV50 gateway—the LTE successor to the
market’s most widely deployed cellular gateway solution for energy
and industrial applications, the AirLink® Raven series.
The AirLink® Raven RV50 offers a truly rugged design and the
lowest power consumption of any LTE industrial gateway, providing
reliable connectivity for the most demanding remote applications,
even when solar panels are the only available source of power.
“The Raven RV50 is an ideal migration path for customers to
cost-effectively upgrade to LTE technology for their industrial IoT
applications, while providing additional functionality to enable
new solutions such as remote video surveillance,” said Jason
Krause, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Solutions for Sierra
Wireless. “The RV50 consumes the same low level of power as our 2G
and 3G Raven gateways, so it can be installed directly into
existing infrastructure without the need to increase capacity.”
Industrial infrastructure is often unmanned, remote, and
critical to business operations. To ensure safety, security, and
uninterrupted operation, a remote monitoring and control system is
essential for applications such as SCADA, on pipelines and in power
distribution, and intelligent traffic management systems. The
AirLink Management Service (ALMS)—a cloud management solution
ranked “best-in-class” by ABI Research—provides remote device
management for the RV50, as well as alerting and monitoring of key
variables such as signal strength, location, temperature and
voltage.
Offering intelligence at the edge, the Raven RV50 includes the
ALEOS Application Framework (AAF), a powerful embedded programming
environment for on-board data gathering, real-time data processing
and alert generation. The application framework also enables the
delivery of critical real-time data and information, reliably and
securely over LTE networks, to the Sierra Wireless IoT Acceleration
Platform or to other software applications and operational
systems.
The AirLink Raven RV50 is the first product of its kind to offer
SIM-based network operator switching – just insert the SIM into the
gateway and it automatically configures the new network settings.
The RV50 ships as a single product variant that works on all major
North American networks, simplifying the ordering and inventory
process, and providing unmatched flexibility in managing
deployments. Customers can take advantage of the best network
coverage in remote areas without increasing complexity.
What customers and partners are saying:
“We tested the Raven RV50 to provide LTE, lower power
connectivity for SCADALynx, and we were impressed by how quickly
the Raven RV50 integrated with our software,” says Ryan McDonald,
CIO of eLynx Technologies. “We’re also really excited about the
network operator switching capability of the Raven RV50—it provides
a new level of flexibility for our inventory and provisioning
processes. We plan on standardizing the Raven RV50 as our primary
cellular gateway—given its highly compatible management platform,
performance features and reliability, we feel it is an ideal
solution for our customers.”
“We tested the new AirLink Raven RV50 as a replacement for the
Raven X, and found that it works flawlessly – we didn’t need to
make any modifications to our software,” says Neil Hurst,
Engineering Manager, Products of EDM International, Inc. “We are
very pleased with this new product – in particular, its very fast
boot-up time and low power consumption.”
“The Raven RV50 offers a huge jump in functionality at the same
power consumption as the original AirLink Raven. Industrial
customers in particular can now look at adding new functionality
like video surveillance to their remote infrastructure, which
improves their day-to-day management and the security of these
remote assets,” said Mark Gianinni, CEO of Accel Networks.
