4G/5G IoT Edge Gateway and Router with POE-EX800

IoT Edge Gateway EX800 is an industrial gateway developed by Edgeware based on edge computing and edge control scenarios. 

EX800 is not a traditional transparent IoT Gateway. It has edge control and computing capability. It is also a programmable gateway. Its built-in Node-Red kernel can be programmed and customized according to the customer’s IoT edge scenario. Edgeware can be customized according to customer needs, or it can be delivered to customers as a white box for them to program themselves. Edgeware has a large number of mature Node-Red program modules for customers to use.

EX800 and Edgeware’s IoT sensor portfolio can automatically complete communication without the need for customers to develop drivers. For customers’ third-party IoT sensors or other types of devices, Edgeware can provide customized driver development services.

Edgeware IoT sensor porfolio

All core components of EX800 are designed to industrial standards, greatly enhancing the reliability of the system, and its operating temperature range reaches -20℃-70℃, which is enough to cope with harsh deployment environments.

EX800 is also optimized for deployment scenarios such as CCTV camera and WIFI AP, adding 4 POE+/802.3at interfaces, and the whole system can provide a maximum of 120W POE power. And these POE ports can be controlled by Node-red to realize various programmable POE restart, POE shutdown and power on functions.
The system can configure 4G or 5G wireless module according to the wireless frequency band of the customer’s country. 4G can choose different wireless modules such as CAT1, CAT4, CAT6, CAT12, etc.

EX800 IoT edge gateway has comprehensive VPN protocol support capabilities, including mainstream VPNs such as IPSEC VPN, L2TP, PPTP, GRE, OPEN VPN, etc., to help customers obtain enhanced security features and more convenient IP planning for the entire network.

In view of the reliability of the system, EX800 also designed the mutual master-slave of WAN port uplink and Wireless uplink, so that customers can deploy some scenarios that enhance system reliability. For example, set the WAN port as main uplink and 4G as backup link. Then realize the master-slave switching.

 

EX800 has 2 RS485, 1 Digital out, and 1 Digital in, so as to achieve richer IoT control capabilities.

Features of 4G/5G IoT Edge Gateway and Router with POE-EX800

Node-Red Ready

Lastest Node-Red is embedded, and the required nodes can be pre-set in the factory settings according to customer needs for easy use. Edgeware can also customize the program in the Node-Red according to customer scenario needs.

OPEN-WRT

Mature OPEN-WRT architecture for the 4G/5G router function. With mature wireless functions that has been used by Edgeware outdoor scenarios.

Complete VPN Protocols Supported

Supports mainstream VPN technologies to facilitate customers to establish VPN tunnels to the central office using the EX800  as the edge node, which not only protects data security, but also facilitates planning of the entire network private address in the 4G/5G wireless backhaul scenario. EX800 supports OPEN-VPN, IPSEC VPN, GRE, PPTP, and L2TP VPN technologies.

POE+ Functions

When developing the EX800 Node-red router, we considered the deployment scenarios of CCTV cameras, WIFI APs and other POE devices in the edge network. Therefore, 4 POE+ 802.3at interfaces are designed in the system. This makes it easy to connect POE-powered devices such as cameras and WIFI APs to build a complete solution using EX800 as the control core. Maximum POE power consumption of the whole system: 120W.

Industrial and Control Interface

EX800 supports 2 RS485,1 DI, and 1 DO. Modbus can be run on RS485. Therefore, customers can build their edge control site with EX800 as the core to control devices such as battery BMS, solar controller, CCTV UPS, etc.

 

RS485,RS232 is one usable node in Node-Red, can be controlled and programmed.

4G/5G Backhaul Capability

EX800 can configure different modules according to customer needs to match the wireless frequency bands required by customers. In addition, according to the actual bandwidth requirements of customers, the 4G module can be configured with CAT1, CAT4, CAT6, CAT12, etc. The wireless module can be used as the primary and backup for the uplink port of the device.

WIFI Supported

EX900 has 802.11n WIFI function. It can provide certain WIFI access for users in edge network scenarios. It can also facilitate engineers to access WIFI for configuration and maintenance.

GPS Supported

EX800 IoT edge gateway supports GPS function. It also has GPS tracking function, which can report coordinates, heading, speed, altitude and other information. It can be deployed in scenarios where tracking is required. It can also be used only for site location information.

SNMP Supported

SNMP is a common protocol used by large enterprises, governments, and telecom operators. General node-red gateways usually lack SNMP protocol, but EX800 has a built-in complete SNMP protocol, which can be easily managed by the customer’s SNMP OSS in large projects, such as Zabbix, Solar Wind, etc.

Thingsboard Supported

EX800 fully supports the thingsboard software platform. The Edgeware development team also has extensive thingsboard development experience and can help customers customize and implement the functions they need.

PRTG Supported

EX800 also supports reporting device monitoring and management information to the PRTG software platform.
