3G Gateway

The FlatMesh 3G Gateway is a fully integrated unit which provides all the functionality required to operate a FlatMesh wireless sensor network in a remote location.

No fixed IP address is required for the cellular service; the Gateway simply initiates the connection with the FlatMesh Web Monitor software over the Internet.

Integrated Five Band UMTS/HSPA+ and Quad Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE Modem
Integrated solar charging circuit connected to internal lithium-ion chargeable battery pack (no external battery pack)
Fully operational, including FlatMesh and cellular radios, for three weeks (typical) on internal battery
On-board industrial-grade flash memory card for data buffering and backup
Incorporates bracket for mounting to pole; wall mounting kit also available
Waterproof connection to solar panel or other DC power supply
All components waterproof to IP67
Firmware is remotely upgradeable over the air reducing costly site visits
Extended temperature range battery option available for extreme conditions
Micro-USB connector for maintenance and local data access
