Liverock Technologies Inc., a Japanese company specializing in Internet of Things solutions for the industrial market, has announced the launch of a smart IoT gateway, developed in collaboration with u-blox. Coral Edge is suited for industrial and IoT/M2M applications such as remote monitoring of parking lots and solar power generators.
Coral Edge is the first mobile gateway equipped with a PoE (Power over Ethernet) power supply function to keep the IP camera running at all times. A SSR (Self Sustaining Recovery) feature enables the gateway to recover by itself in the event of a power failure or temperature change. Oracle Java SE Embedded 8 is another key element of Coral Edge.
"It was very exciting to collaborate with Liverock Technologies, as we at u-blox are committed to support the industrial and automotive market by developing smart IoT/M2M solutions," explains Minoru Okuda, Business Development Manager at u-blox Japan. "u-blox professional grade LTE/3G Cat. 4 modules TOBY-L200 embedded in Coral Edge follow the u-blox “nested design” philosophy to maintain form factor and software continuity.
This allows customers to easily upgrade their products with each new generation of u-blox wireless modules without having to change the PCB designs. It enables easy migration contributing to maximized investment, simplified logistics and drastically reduced time-to-market," he adds.
The u-blox modules TOBY-L200 come in a compact LGA package of 24.8 x 35.6 x 2.6 mm. They are specifically designed for industrial and M2M/IoT applications and to support operating temperatures ranging from -40° to +85°. Product quality is ensured by a qualification against harsh environmental conditions and by a manufacturing in ISO-TS16949 certified sites.
