ProtoAir cellular gateways
The FieldServer ProtoAir LTE wireless gateway provides the Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) a cost-effective interface to Building Management Systems (BMS) and immediate IoT remote monitoring capabilities for all devices in the field at no extra cost.
Integrated MSA Grid cloud platform support enhances the ProtoAir LTE’s value by enabling remote monitoring, control, cloud-based alarm notifications (SMS or E-Mail) for trouble or alarm conditions and data visualization. MSA Grid - FieldServer Manager users can view data, download historical data and provide remote monitor/control for any connected devices. Additionally, a FieldServer Manager integrated ProtoAir LTE dramatically reduces the time for an OEM to implement their IoT cloud strategy.
The ProtoAir FPA-C4X uses LTE to securely connect devices to AT&T, Verizon or Vodafone networks. This cellular connection allows IoT applications to move machine data into the cloud for maintenance, management and troubleshooting of remote equipment. An embedded OpenVPN Server enables secure remote access and programming of the OEMs Ethernet devices in the field.
