With the new NG800 Automotive IoT Gateway NetModule supports the advancing introduction of telematics in vehicles, especially commercial vehicles. It provides the necessary robust communication between on-board electronics and cloud applications such as monitoring of E-mobility, fleet management and diagnostic tasks. The customer-specific target applications are enabled by the innovative modular concept of software, electronics and mechanical components. This flexible approach allows a wide variety of product variants at a moderate investment, even if only small quantities are to be produced. The case design of the NG800 was awarded the coveted Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design category in 2019.
One field of application of the NG800 are municipal vehicles such as for garbage collection, winter services or street cleaning. For example, in the case of garbage collection, the route taken, the stops made, the number and weight of the respective garbage cans and more can be recorded and transferred to the control center for evaluation or stored for later access. In the case of snow ploughs, it is possible to record, among other things, when which vehicle drove which route, how much snow was cleared, how much grit was distributed per kilometer and where there were critical points. Regardless of the area of application, local authorities benefit from the collected data in order to make their administration more efficient and thus optimize the effort involved.
A key role in all applications is played by wireless communication and the transfer of collected on-board data to another network: for this purpose the NG800 platform integrates an LTE Cat 4 modem, WiFi 802.11abgn, GNSS with Dead Reckoning and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Via a Molex CMC 48-pin connector, wired interfaces such as CAN, RS-232, Automotive Ethernet or Fast Ethernet can be connected. For the rough application area, e.g. on the outside of vehicles, NetModule has equipped the multifunctional IoT-Gateway with an IP69-classified outdoor housing.
