IoT gateways for telematics applications

Future-proof connectivity with the MCG

Telematics – telecommunications and informatics – help to transfer mobile machinery data, in order to gather, store and process it in a cloud. Depending on the application, these data are for measuring and monitoring environmental parameters (e.g. temperature), machine data (e.g. position, fuel level), wear and tear data and logistics information.

Our IoT gateways are the key to connectivity – the hardware with which you can implement efficiency-raising telematics applications. Our gateways do not only enable applications such as condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, telemetry and software updates over-the-air – they are also prerequisite for the automation of mobile machinery.

Our gateways – your benefits at a glance

IoT gateways by Liebherr stand out through:

  • Protection of your investment thanks to Form-Fit-Function and long-term-availability
  • 2G / 3G / 4G (LTE) network coverage
  • Future-proofing and flexibility through open programmability (Linux)
  • Easy access to market through various certifications
  • Thanks to high robustness designed for use in mobile machinery
  • Data security with our Chain-of-Trust concept

Cloud connection and edge computing

Edge computing: As the gateway is able to pre-process data before transferring it to the cloud, data traffic can be optimized. You can connect our gateways to all common clouds, such as:

  • AWS (Amazon)
  • Azure (Microsoft)
  • Cumulocity (Software AG)

Our IoT gateways can communicate with all clouds – and also with your own solution. We will be delighted to look at your individual requirements.

Our IoT stories

Digitalization, connectivity and autonomous driving: very close to the trends of tomorrow - with our gateways, we actively contribute to these future developments. Our main focus: to offer each customer the best possible solution.

International certifications

Our gateways are already certified for the EU, EFTA States, USA and Canada (green). Product certifications are planned for South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Russia (yellow). Do you need product certification for a specific country? Do not hesitate to contact us!

Free configurability

Based on the Linux operating system, the gateways are freely programmable and embedded in a fully configured Yocto build system. The open system with programming interfaces makes them universally applicable – full innovation capability for your applications.

Ideal network coverage and connectivity

Whether 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G in the future – our gateway portfolio supports all previously available mobile standards. The integrated modem manager constantly monitors and controls the connection quality. Therefore, your machine stays connected to the available network and has the best possible connectivity. A sudden network change in the field is not a problem. Our MCG is also equipped with two antennas. This antenna diversity ensures a higher data rate and better availability.

Performance

Whether simple applications with single-core i.MX6 processor or high-end solutions with quad-core processor: Depending on your requirements, our gateways do not only enable standard applications, e.g. localization and data transfer, but also specific applications, such as M2M communication and software update over-the-air (FOTA).

Security

Your sensitive machine data is securely transferred and protected from unauthorized access. Our specially designed Chain-of-Trust concept offers you data security throughout the complete product life cycle, from product development until to end-of-life. The file system, communication, update and boot-mechanism are therefore encrypted and your machine is protected.

Future-proof investments

Digitalization is driving rapid changes - for example, upgrading mobile phone standards to 5G. To what extent are IoT gateways future-proofed?

Continuous development (Form-Fit-Function)

A look into the future: 5G, IP65 and High-Position GNSS – beside adapting to reflect evolving mobile phone standards, protection classes and satellite navigation, we are further developing the gateways in terms of interfaces, security, certifications and cloud providers. Thanks to Form-Fit-Function these changes are not a problem. Even with updates, software interfaces, pin connections and installation space of the device remain the same – this protects your investment.
