Remotely monitoring and controlling infrastructure and surveillance equipment on
pipelines, meters, pumps and valves in any energy, utility, or industrial application
•
Tracking the location of heavy equipment and assets in the field
•
Providing reliable Internet access to a mobile workforce
The RV55 router has multiple communication ports including serial, Ethernet, and USB
ports. The power connector has one GPlO pin for remote monitoring and control and one
ignition sense pin to turn the router on and off.
The RV55 is an LTE-Advanced cellular router that supports LTE and HSPA+ radio bands.
The RV55 routers, with their rich feature set, configurable with the included ALEOS
software, are the perfect choice for a broad set of IoT solutions.
