Overview
Moxa UC-3100 Series computers can be used as edge-field smart gateways for data pre-processing and
transmission, as well as for other embedded data acquisition applications. The UC-3100 Series includes
three models, each supporting different wireless options and protocols.
The UC-3100’s advanced heat dissipation design makes it suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -30
to 70°C. In fact, the Wi-Fi and LTE connections can be used simultaneously in both cold and hot
environments, allowing you to maximize your “data pre-processing” and “data transmission” capability in
most harsh environments.
