Wireless FX30 Programmable IoT Gateway Redefines Connectivity and
Intelligence for Machines
Built
on the Legato® open source Linux platform, the FX30 enables rapid
development and deployment of Industrial IoT applications globally
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 14, 2016--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), a leading provider of fully integrated
end-to-end solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, today
announced the availability of the FX30, the industry’s smallest, most
flexible and rugged programmable cellular gateway. It provides a
pre-certified, integrated embedded platform to connect any machine to
any IoT application or cloud, enabling fast, scalable and global
deployment of IoT solutions.
The Internet of Things is transforming organizations across all
industries worldwide, enabling enhanced productivity and customer
service. However, connecting many “things” can be complex, expensive and
time consuming. The FX30 solves this, providing Legato® open source
Linux-based programmability and 2G, 3G and LTE connectivity to manage
any type of machine, including industrial equipment, infrastructure,
building automation systems, laboratory and medical equipment,
automation systems, construction equipment, commercial appliances, and
portable and renewable energy systems. Entire fleets of FX30s can be
monitored, managed and controlled remotely through Sierra Wireless’
AirVantage® Cloud Services.
“The FX30 provides a flexible, secure platform to connect machines to
the Internet of Things, enabling companies to offer new, value-added
services for their customers,” said Jason Krause, Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Enterprise Solutions for Sierra Wireless. “For
example, equipment manufacturers can quickly add IoT connectivity to any
solution and deploy custom applications to monitor machine performance
at the edge, sending data and alerts to any remote service application.”
About the FX30 Programmable IoT Gateway
The FX30 builds on the success of Sierra Wireless’ Fastrack Xtend,
integrating the Legato open source Linux platform into a small, rugged
gateway with flexible hardware interface options to simplify IoT
solution development. Legato offers a secure application framework,
maintained Linux distribution and feature-rich development environment.
Legato’s robust APIs enable users to easily connect to any cloud or
network, and allow developers to focus on building value-add IoT
applications.
“Linkwave has been providing communications solutions based on Sierra
Wireless programmable modems for more than 15 years for diverse
applications including vehicle asset management, vending and security,”
said Andrew Newton, Managing Director, Linkwave Wireless Connectivity.
“We’re excited about the new FX30 and believe that it will be a truly
unique offering in the market, providing a critical building block for
customers developing IoT solutions.”
The FX30 is ideally suited for both regional and global deployments
providing 2G, 3G and 4G options, global banding combinations, and
numerous certifications, all in the same small, rugged industrial form
factor. The FX30 also supports Sierra Wireless’ multi-operator Smart SIM
that delivers best-in-class coverage and superior data service quality.
Future releases will also support the GSMA eUICC specification for
remote provisioning, allowing subscriptions to be remotely updated
over-the-air.
Offering unparalleled flexibility for many different applications, the
FX30 is available in both Ethernet and Serial variants, and supports an
IoT Connector to enable hardware extensions to interface with an
unlimited range of sensors, and wired and wireless networks. It offers
best-in-class low power consumption, consuming less than 1W in idle mode
and 2mW in ultra-low power mode, making it ideal for solar and
battery-powered applications. Security features include support for the
Lightweight M2M protocol and pre-shared key encryption.
