Product Announcements

New LTE Category 4 embedded and device products for European markets include the Dragonfly™ embedded cellular system-on-module (SoM), ready-to-integrate modules that offer developers the functionality of a programmable computing platform with the convenience of an onboard cellular radio all in one compact design, as well as MultiConnect® rCell 100 series industrial cellular routers with mPower™ Edge Intelligence to deliver programmability, network flexibility, enhanced security and manageability for scalable Industrial Internet of Things solutions.

Product Display

Cellular: Machine-to-machine devices on display include the latest MultiTech Dragonfly and Dragonfly Nano SoMs and MultiConnect rCell 100 series router, as well as MultiConnect microCell modems.

For utilities in the process of upgrading legacy connectivity equipment, the MultiConnect rCell 500 Series – designed specifically for the European market, this easy to configure LTE broadband wireless and Ethernet router offers Paknet emulation support to extend the life of monitored assets.

MultiTech routers are supported by DeviceHQ® a cloud-based tool set for managing the latest generation of MultiTech devices. DeviceHQ takes remote device management and maintenance to a new level, by providing an application marketplace, allowing users to browse applications or build their own then easily deploy them to and customize them for remote devices from anywhere. Now available for deployment on premise in response to the unique needs of the utility marketplace.

LoRaWAN: As a founding member of the LoRa Alliance and an early adopter of LoRa® technology, MultiTech has created a portfolio of gateways and embedded end nodes that enable industrial IoT applications in a myriad of outdoor and indoor use cases. These products were designed to ensure the quickest route to market based on user needs, programming capabilities, preferred use of resources and business focus, in order to deliver a fast return on investment and low total cost of ownership. Visit the booth to see the LoRaWAN® enabling portfolio, including the MultiTech Conduit® base station, gateway and access point, as well as xDot® and mDot™ LoRaWAN Certified^CM end-point modules.
