4G GATEWAY SOLUTION USING 4G SIM MODULE FOR SMARTHOME
Gateway applications with the task of making central processors in smart homes are increasingly being covered. The product brings many conveniences to the living space, but there are still problems such as when the network line leads to the network device and the connection to the remote-control device is lost. To improve this problem, EPI Vietnam introduces the Gateway 4G solution using modules from leading reputable manufacturers such as: 4G SIM from SIMCOM, 1Gbit Flash – F50L1G41LB-104YG2M from ESMT and quartz FC-135 / FC-135 TYPE from EPSON.
The Gateway 4G device stands out with the 4G SIM module A7683E, optimal for use when the Ethernet network line has problems, leading to loss of connection between other electronic devices. To overcome this situation, Gateway will switch to using 4G to continue to maintain connection with other devices in the home without interruption during use.
In addition to connecting to phones and other devices via Ethernet and Wi-fi, Gateway 4G is also equipped with 2 connections: Bluetooth and Zigbee to control devices even without an Ethernet network.
Gateway 4G equipment uses components from brands that EPI Technologies Vietnam is distributing such as: SIMCOM, ESMT, EPSON,… EPI is confident in providing customers with quality solutions serving the smarthome market.
