HMS Networks has released the Anybus Wireless Bolt IoT, which uses the novel LTE-based networks NB-IoT and CAT-M1 companies to enable dependable cellular-based Internet connectivity for field assets. Frequently, there is a lack of local infrastructure for traditional Internet asset connection. The Anybus Wireless Bolt IoT by HMS Networks manages this situation by reliable cellular-based Internet connectivity over CAT-M1 and NB-IoT for remote assets that are bothersome to reach and connect by other methods.
Wireless Bolt IoT comprises all elements essential to procure mobile or stationary assets over a cellular connection. It is packaged in a unique Bolt format for on-asset M50 hole mounting and consists of a strong IP66/67 housing with UL NEMA 4X certificate for outdoor monitoring, a firewall, a microcontroller, and an integrated cellular antenna with a modem.
An inbuilt Ethernet port connects to the corresponding Ethernet port on the asset. The configuration is completed through an inbuilt web server by sending REST commands through the Ethernet port. Then, Wireless Bolt IoT transfers transparently data from the asset to the cellular Internet connection through TCP/UDP-based protocols. There is support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), but separate terminals can also supply power.
On the cellular link, Wireless Bolt IoT has communication through the latest LTE standards NB-IoT and CAT-M1 with 2G (GPRS/EDGE) fallback. This confirms dependable deployment across the globe. Such novel LTE standards are the so-called LP-WAN technologies best-made for novel IoT use cases that consume lesser power, lesser bandwidth, low connectivity cost per asset, and good geographical coverage. An onboard SIM-card slot connects to any operator across the globe. Cellular Private APN networks endorse private enterprise asset networking.
Wireless Bolt IoT is particularly suitable for battery-driven assets not connected to the electric grid, such as water level measuring stations, traffic metering stations, and electronic road signs. Its low-power mode is used to enter a low power state when data is not transferred. This implies that the battery or power supply size can be minimized.
