IDY is meeting customer demands by focusing on reliable wireless technology in the growing IoT and M2M market. LTE-equipped routers and gateways are already used in many network applications, such as vending machines, digital signage, high-speed railways, AI robots and kiosk terminals. As demand grows for sustainable and highly-reliable networks, 5G is expected to bring new services and greater convenience. IDY has developed the iR730B and adopted Telit's FN980m 5G data card with the aim of serving these existing and new applications that can benefit from the advantages of 5G networks.
The FN980m supports all major sub-6 GHz frequency bands, giving iR730B users maximum deployment flexibility. The FN980m 5G data card supports the Qualcomm® QTM525 mmWave antenna module for near-the-ground low power indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, the FN980m also supports the Qualcomm® QTM527 mmWave extended-range antenna module for high-mount outdoor applications.
"The iR730B is designed specifically for high-speed communication, inheriting the DNA of the highly-reliable iR720B gateway, which made it possible to install advanced applications," said Kazuaki Honda, President and CEO, IDY. "In addition to the expanded 40 mm x 52 mm module bay allowing it to take a 5G data card, it offers all the previous functions, including GbE wired LAN, RS232/485, and DIO while maintaining the same size. The dual core CPU allows for edge computing alongside 5G."
"IDY's new iR730B gateway highlights Telit's leadership in providing OEMs worldwide with quick access to the latest technologies—in this case, the newly ratified 3GPP Rel. 15 standard and Qualcomm Technologies' second-generation Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System," said Marco Contento, Vice President 5G Technologies, Telit. "The Telit FN980m lays the foundation for businesses across Japan to future-proof IoT, enterprise applications and video, while leveraging all of 5G's and gigabit LTE's benefits immediately."
