Yokogawa Electric Group amnimo to start selling LTE router "IoT Router (outdoor version) AR20" that can be installed outdoors and supports PoE power supply from October 22nd

amnimo Inc. (Head office: Musashino City, Tokyo, President: Chiharu Nakabayashi, hereinafter amnimo) realizes data transmission from customer equipment to the cloud in various industrial systems. The LTE communication device "IoT router (outdoor version) AR20", which is ideal for this purpose, will be on sale from October 22nd.

With the spread of industrial IoT, the demand for installing LTE communication equipment outdoors is also increasing, but currently it is possible to respond by installing equipment designed for indoor use in a waterproof box. has become mainstream.

The IoT router (outdoor version) AR20 developed by amnimo is an industrial LTE router designed for outdoor use, and can be installed in locations exposed to direct sunlight and rainwater. 2 Ethernet ports can supply power with PoE (*1), and power can be supplied to external devices that operate on PoE such as surveillance cameras and various sensors with a single cable connection. Allows data to be sent and received.

[Features of this product]

1.Environmental resistance and high reliability for outdoor installation

The "IoT Router (Outdoor Version) AR20" is equipped with a circuit inside the polycarbonate cover, so it has a level of dustproof and waterproof performance that can be installed outdoors as it is, and a wide range of operations that can be installed in places exposed to direct sunlight. temperature is achieved. In addition, an SPD device is installed as a countermeasure against induced lightning, and it is possible to realize a highly functional video solution by connecting to a camera installed outdoors.

In addition, the power circuit of the "IoT Router (Outdoor Version) AR20" is highly resistant to momentary power interruptions, large voltage drops, noise, etc. in the supply of power from the outside, and can be used under unstable power sources. is.

In addition, it is possible to install multiple SIM cards to deal with cellular communication network failures, and when a network failure is detected during communication, another SIM card is immediately used to connect to the communication network of another carrier. Communication can be restored in a short time by switching.

2. Compatible with remote.it, which enables remote control of industrial equipment with a simple configuration

"IoT router (outdoor version) AR20" supports the remote connection service provided by remot3.it, and it is possible to realize simple remote control using a PC. remote.it is the latest remote access service designed based on the concept of zero trust*2 and realizing SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) using a reliable P2P network. The remote.it client application is pre-installed in this product, greatly shortening the work from setting up to starting use.

*2 Instead of the conventional concept of "high security inside the company and low security outside the company", the concept is to define all communications as unreliable, and then consider and implement a secure communication method.

3, You can use the cloud recording service by connecting a surveillance camera

The "IoT router (outdoor version) AR20" is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and it is possible to supply power to external devices connected to these two ports via PoE. , it is possible to connect up to two surveillance cameras that operate on PoE. In addition, by using amnimo's cloud recording service (currently under development), it will be possible to record video captured by surveillance cameras in cloud storage, enabling various video-based solutions. It will be possible.

4.Reduce maintenance and operation effort by linking with cloud applications

"IoT router (outdoor version) AR20" can perform various tasks related to maintenance and operation via the cloud by linking with the device management system, which is a cloud service provided by amnimo. can be greatly reduced.

For example, if you use the automatic initial setting function, when you turn on the power while the main unit is connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable, all the device settings will be performed automatically. In addition, after installation in the field, it will be possible to perform tasks such as updating firmware, changing settings, collecting logs for trouble analysis, and transferring data for failure replacement via the cloud. In addition, you can also monitor the life and death of the connected camera.

The IoT router (outdoor version) AR20 is an LTE communication device for outdoor installation. Allows you to expand your territory. In contrast to the "Edge Gateway (Outdoor Version) AG20" announced the other day, which can be equipped with an SSD and enables video processing on the edge side, this product can keep the price of the device low. In addition, when a surveillance camera is connected, it is suitable for a solution that transmits the video as it is to the cloud and saves and processes it on the cloud side.
