EDGE Pro NR8421 DECT NR+ IoT Gateway

EDGE Pro NR8421 DECT NR+ IoT Gateway is an industrial IoT gateway designed for industrial applications, supporting DECT NR+, a non-cellular wireless communication technology defined within the 5G standard. It delivers operator- and SIM-independent connectivity, while its built-in web-based management interface enables fast and easy installation, allowing seamless integration into IoT projects in a short time. 

The device collects data from PLCs, sensors, meters, and other industrial equipment using IEC 62056-21, Modbus RTU, and Modbus TCP/IP protocols and securely transfers this data to central systems. Its integrated digital and analog I/O architecture reduces the need for additional control hardware, making it an ideal solution for remote I/O and basic automation applications. Data collected from Modbus-based field devices can be transmitted over an operator-independent private wireless 5G network built using DECT NR+ technology to other EdgePro devices or central points, enabling Modbus systems distributed across different locations to be reliably integrated within the same local IoT network without the need for wired infrastructure.

Description

Optimized for M2M and IoT use cases, DECT NR+ technology operates in the license-exempt 1.9 GHz band, delivering scalable, reliable, and low-latency message-based wireless communication for local and dense IoT environments. The mesh network architecture provided by DECT NR+ enhances communication continuity and network resilience, creating a stable infrastructure for large and complex IoT deployments. In addition, automatic data collection and a built-in rule engine enable basic edge data processing, threshold monitoring, and condition-based actions to be executed locally, reducing unnecessary data traffic and improving overall system efficiency.

IP-based communication over Wi-Fi and Ethernet is secured through WireGuard VPN, a built-in firewall, certificate-based authentication, and encryption mechanisms. This architecture delivers a high level of security for industrial systems requiring secure remote access and data protection. With its industrial-grade metal enclosure, wide operating temperature range, and robust design, the EDGE Pro NR8421 ensures reliable and long-term operation even in harsh field environments.
