Smarter Buildings Start with Smarter IoT Edge Gateways

Smart buildings, intelligent lighting control, asset tracking and countless other enterprise IoT applications have one thing in common, they require a solid network foundation for consistent and reliable operation. Powerful, scalable, and cost effective, the new i.MX 8M Nano powered SolidSense N8 Compact IoT edge gateway was purposefully engineered for these kinds of business intelligent applications.

SolidSense Edge Gateways are scalable and capable of managing a single application to processing data from numerous sensors within a building in real time and can be optioned with a variety of connectivity options to fit a variety of needs. The solid-state, fanless design of all SolidSense products allow for a compact, unobtrusive package that can withstand a variety of environmental factors and temperature fluctuations, for years of reliable operation.

Connectivity and reliability are key to any network, and the new SolidSense N8 products deliver thanks to the Wirepas Linux Gateway software that enables reliable, massive-scale communications from Wirepas Massive-enabled devices backhauled over LTE, Wi-Fi or ethernet connections. With its flexible radio features, the SolidSense N8 IoT Compact can support up to two Wirepas radio interfaces, which benefit further from Wirepas Massive’s unique automatic multi-gateway and load-balancing support, which automatically gives higher data throughput. These features allow SolidSense gateways to support large Wirepas mesh networks with massive data requirements.

Using its powerful networking and processing capabilities, SolidSense gateways seamlessly integrate Wirepas mesh capabilities into any enterprise IoT network. Wirepas also provides built-in support for communication with Wirepas cloud assets, such as network diagnostics and positioning engines.

Running on Linux, SolidSense gateways have a near limitless amount of open-source software applications available to them, and software can be deployed or upgraded automatically over the air, or by a field technician. Out of the box, developers are provided access to a full suite of open-source software solutions that can run on the gateways and in the cloud for device and connectivity management.
