Connect-Wireless – The configurable IoT Gateway

The Connect-Wireless is a portable, plastic housed, compact sized I/O, Ethernet/Serial to Wireless IoT Gateway, with connectivity options like Wi-Fi, 4G, LoRa and Bluetooth.

The Connect-Wireless offers connectivity solutions that allow machine builders and factory owners to remotely monitor the performance of their equipment. Choosing the right Connect-Wireless IoT Gateway is the first step of your project towards building a connected machine. We provide different interfaces in our routers such as Serial, Ethernet, and Digital Inputs/Outputs using which you can collect data from your machines and send it out using Wi-Fi, 3G/4G or LoRa. Our gateway does not compromise on security. We meet the strictest industry standards and are certified worldwide. Our gateway is DIN rail mountable in an IP54 enclosure.

Our Connect-Wireless products provide PLC remote access for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. You can easily download PLC programs, access your HMI, and even trigger notifications when something goes wrong.

With our products supporting Digital Outputs, thus remote control is also achievable, making the Connect-Wireless a truly versatile communication interface device.
