ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, and a global supplier of industrial PCs and motherboards, announces the launch of the new MXA-200 Arm-based 5G IIoT gateway with a 1.6GHz NXP i.MX 8M Plus quad Arm Cortex-A53 processor. The MXA-200 5G IIoT gateway delivers high performance with low power consumption, bundled in a rugged and fanless package with an optional external heatsink, and combined with wireless options for Bluetooth, wireless LAN, 4G, and 5G. The MXA-200 is the ideal choice for remote edge networks in smart manufacturing, renewable energy, and smart city applications.
The MXA-200 Arm-based 5G IIoT Gateway has a 1.6GHz NXP i.MX 8M Plus processor with 4x Arm Cortex-A53 cores, providing high performance while keeping power consumption as low as possible. The NXP i.MX 8M offers high-performance graphics, virtualization, and security for AI, graphics, and industrial applications with a 10- to 15-year product life. It features high-efficiency computing with 64-bit Quad Cortex-A53, is ready for AI with integrated NPU 2.3 TOPS, and is protected with TPM 2.0 for data security.
“IIoT gateways bridge the gap between OT people dealing with hardware and setup in the field, and IT personnel who remotely manage the increasingly important and complex software backend,” said Taita Chou, ADLINK’s senior product manager of Edge Computing Platforms BU. “On the OT side, the MXA-200 provides machine maintenance and production process engineers with connections for many industrial sensors, PLCs, and peripheral connections, such as RS-232/422/485 for electrical connections, and faster connections, such as USB 3.0 for high-speed cameras. On the IT side, MES and software engineers, who tend to use C#, Python, RESTful API, and web services, get robust remote access capabilities through wireless communications like Bluetooth, wireless LAN, 4G, and 5G.”
The ADLINK MXA-200 Arm-based 5G IIoT gateway helps bring remote edge network capabilities to the market quicker, by providing comprehensive operating system support for Debian 11, Yocto, and Windows 10 IoT, cutting development time and costs. Hardware integration is accelerated with mounting options such as DIN rail and wall mounting, making the installation into machines and control cabinets simple. The MXA-200 gives you everything you need for edge device management across distant remote networks, making it a great choice for smart manufacturing, renewable energy, and smart city applications.
