GSM Connectivity for IOT Applications.
From domestic level applications to industrial applications, IoT technology applies. But the major issue with IoT applications is continuous connectivity. If the device is located outside of the range of Wi-Fi or wired connectivity, the long range communication means are considered, Especially when IoT devices installed in remote locations need connectivity. But to overcome this issue, GSM and LTE technologies have been integrated with modern IoT devices. Through GSM & LTE enable cellular IoT. Weather monitoring on remote cultivation fields, harvest storing facilities, industrial machine monitoring, air & sound quality monitoring in industrial zones, city traffic management, transport fleet tracking & monitoring, logistic management, and healthcare operations can all be done with GSM & LTE connected IoT devices.
NORVI GSM series have provided good solutions for the above mentioned issue.
NORVI GSM Series: Options for GSM and LTE modems.
NORVI GSM series include simcom SIM800L series to enable cellular connectivity. The SIM800 version includes the Quad-band GSM/GPRS option. DTMF, MMS, MUX Functions, Embedded TCP/UDP protocols for packet data transmission, support frequency Bands 850/900/1800/1900MHz, GPRS multi-slot class: 12/10.
Further, another version of NORVI GSM series includes QUECTEL EC21. By this series enable Worldwide LTE, UMTS/HSPA(+) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage, DTMF, MMS, MUX Functions, Embedded TCP/UDP protocols for packet data transmission, support frequency Bands 850/900/1800/1900MHz, GPRS multi-slot class: 12/10.
Advantages and uses of features offered by NORVI GSM Series.
The NORVI GSM series is powered by ESP32-WROOM-32. Due to the low power consumption of this ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller, the energy cost is low. ESP32-WROOM-32 provides Wifi and bluetooth low energy as connectivity options.One major advantage of NORVI GSM is the integrated mini USB port that can be used to program the ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller. Furthermore, NORVI GSM series devices and Digital Inputs and Analog Inputs are able to use collected readings from digital & analog sources.The Transistor Outputs, Relay Outputs can be used for controlling machine-based systems (Ex:Motors).
The integrated RS485 enables communication with most industrial machines. Hence, the NORVI GSM series can be used in many industrial applications. The w5500 supported ethernet port enables wired network connectivity. This option can be used if the device is away from the wireless connectivity range or wireless connectivity fails. Integrated microSD card slots can be used as a data storage option.
The cellular modem installed in NORVI GSM series is an advantage when used as Wireless IoT Gateway, WiFi to GSM Bridge, MQTT Gateway. Also, clients can monitor the device from any remote location because of cellular connectivity. To have better signal strength for cellular modem, an external antenna has been integrated on the NORVI GSM device. The built-in buttons and OLED display on the front panel are programmable via an ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller. Hence, users can implement programs for ESP32-WROOM-32 for buttons to give inputs and display values via the OLED display. The DIN rail mount option is useful to install the device properly in an enclosure to suit the installation environment.
