Gateway solution targets IoT applications

Features include one UART, two GPI, two GPO, two 10/100 Ethernet, one USB, one Mini PCIe, one SD and one 12VDC input. The device also supports wireless connection such as WiFi, 3G/4G, Bluetooth, and ZigBee through onboard Mini PCIe expansion. Designed with rich I/O, the gateway acts as a communication bridge connecting sensors and passing raw data through the network to the cloud server for further processing. The UBC-221 is fanless and low power with a maximum power consumption of less than 2.8W. For mounting flexibility, the device supports VESA, DIN rail and wall mounting, making it easy to deploy multiple IoT gateway devices.

Advantech provides a standard Yocto Linux board support package and pre-packaged image to help software developers create custom software for the UBC-221, or to evaluate and test their application before release. In addition, Intel Quark supports a web server package that developers can use to build a web server so users can remotely access UBC-the gateway through a web browser. For users who want advanced remote access features, the device comes with Advantech’s WISE-Cloud service software. With WISE-Cloud’s intuitive interface, users can monitor and manage large numbers of devices anytime and anywhere.

For customers with existing system designs, Advantech also offers the RSB-3850, an Intel Quark SoC x1000 2.5” SBC with identical I/O functions. Following the standard Pico-ITX form factor, the SoC can easily integrate additional system peripherals and fit it into any type of chassis design.
