Product Overview

The Courier M2M 4G LTE Cat 1 Cellular Gateway is a wireless device that provides cellular connectivity to the Internet for machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The Cellular Gateway can interface with a wide variety of M2M and IoT equipment via Ethernet or serial port.

For example, the Cellular Gateway can allow remote M2M equipment to wirelessly contact an application server via the Internet and transmit M2M data, as shown in figure 1.

figure 1

Also, the Cellular Gateway can allow remote serial equipment to wirelessly contact an application server via the Internet and transmit M2M data, as shown in figure 2.
