ZumLink™ 900 MHz Industrial IoT Gateway

FreeWave Technologies' ZumLink 900 series is made for secure collection, transport, and control of data in rugged industrial environments. It provides a long-range, low-power solution for remote wireless communications with edge compute capabilities that can be seamlessly added as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requirements evolve.

The ZumLink Z9-PE2 and Z9-P2 operate in the unlicensed 900 MHz spectrum with RF link rates up to 4 Mbps. Performance is further enhanced by FreeWave’s network accelerators, which utilize techniques such as packet compression, packet aggregation, forward error correction, and adaptive spectrum learning to maximize network throughput, efficiency, and reliability.

Updated with an additional Ethernet port, 1 GB of RAM, a Phoenix-style power connector, and full VLAN management support, the model offers more simplicity, flexibility, and capacity to support users’ growing demands to do more at the remote industrial edge.

ZumLink radios are ideal in field area networks, systems, and devices such as those used by oil and gas, precision agriculture, water/wastewater, smart cities, and utilities, and deliver advanced features to maximize the performance of virtually any M2M, SCADA, or IIoT application used today or in future operations.

The ZumLink 900 Series is also software upgradeable to include FreeWave’s IQ Application Environment, a Linux-based operating system for developing and deploying third-party applications. These applications provide edge computing to improve data visibility without overburdening the network and to enable networking tools such as security and diagnostics. ZumIQ accomplishes this by rapidly modernizing edge equipment and devices.
