The EdgePoint RTU is a cellular gateway and sensor hub designed for outdoor and industrial applications. RS-485, RS-232, Dallas 1-Wire and six inputs give it the ability to connect directly to a wide array of digital and analog sensors and equipment for live monitoring.
A solar powered option includes a rechargeable battery and solar charging cell integrated into the box. This eliminates the need for local power at the installation site, making installation much simpler. It also makes moving the EdgePoint RTU to different sites easy.
A battery back-up option seamlessly switches to battery if main power is interrupted, keeping the EdgePoint RTU alive and reporting.
A CAT-M1 cellular modem connects the EdgePoint RTU to cloud servers and offers a range that is longer than traditional CAT-4 modems. This also integrates GPS into the gateway to provide positioning services.
Nexcomm Systems offers cloud services to maintain the data, reporting and visualizations. However, the system can also forward the data to a customer’s existing cloud services. This generic approach to connectivity makes the EdgePoint RTU outdoor cellular sensor hub ideal for integrating into new and existing systems.
Housed in an IP67 enclosure, the EdgePoint RTU outdoor cellular gateway and sensor hub is ruggedized for harsh industrial and outdoor environments. This makes it very simple to add monitoring to outdoor IoT applications such as tank level monitoring, irrigation, and environmental monitoring.
