Extending the family of Kontron TRACe products specifically designed for Transportation, the TRACe LoRa-MQTT embeds a LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) LoRa radio concentrator sustaining up to 8 communication channels simultaneously and Ethernet connectivity from one of the two GbE front M12 X-Coded connectors.
The Cloud connection based on standard IP Ethernet automatically transforms LoRa messages to MQTT streams and the security is guaranteed by a TLS connection using private keys both on the TRACe gateway side and on the Cloud server side.
“Achieving reliable data transmission from a fast moving platform with ground stations is a technical challenge we have successfully met,” said Philippe Vincent, General manager at Kontron Toulon, “we are excited that our TRACe LoRa-MQTT gateway is already being tested on a high speed train.”
In addition, the Kontron TRACe LoRa-MQTT integrates various sensors and a micro-controller for system health monitoring. Designed to EN50155 railway certification, the TRACe LoRa-MQTT ensures stable operation in the harshest environments.
