RAM® 9000 Industrial Cellular RTUs
Sixnet Networking Series
Cellular Automation
The RAM 9000 industrial cellular RTU provides
a rugged, reliable solution for monitoring and
controlling remote assets and processes in
extreme conditions.
The RAM 9000 combines built-in I/O and active GPS with multiple serial
and Ethernet ports to securely monitor remote devices via 4G LTE cellular
communications. Ideal for deployment in industrial M2M networks such as oil and
gas, water/wastewater, utility, transportation and mining applications, the RAM
9000 provides a seamless network extension to remote locations. As a robust
cellular automation platform, the RAM 9000 enables customers to save wiring
time, space and cost by combining separate functions into one cellular device.
