Moxa Announces Embedded Platform for Verizon 4G LTE

Moxa, a provider of communications infrastructure solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), has certified its UC-8100 embedded computing platform to run on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. This, according to the company, makes it the world’s first industrial-grade wireless computer that is certified to do so.

The UC-8100 offers a complete monitoring service for remote field devices used in large-scale Big Data WAN applications. It acts as a vendor-agnostic data logger that can connect to inverters, string combiners, smart meters and transmits data via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

“Earning certification from Verizon is an important step for Moxa’s wireless business, one that carries a great deal of authority because it is recognized as having one of the most rigorous testing protocols of any carrier,” said Daniel Liu, business development manager for Moxa. “Additionally, we are proud to have joined the Verizon Partner Program to gain access to its innovative technology solutions, training and resources to add more value to the Moxa customer experience. The UC-8100’s advanced remote monitoring and analytics is a huge value-add for systems and software providers. The platform helps make it easy and cost-effective to establish the necessary infrastructure for those services.”
