5 Product overview

5 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The ReliaGATE 10-05 is a compact and lightweight device intended to be used as Multi-Service IoT

Gateway. It is based on the NXP i.MX285 CPU, with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of eMMC, and a user-

accessible microSD slot.

It is suitable for intensive workload in industrial applications. It supports a 9 to 36 V power supply with

transient, surge, noise, and reverse polarity protection with a power consumption of 1.5 W idle. An internal

backup battery can enable a customer safe shutdown application in case of a blackout.

The ReliaGATE 10-05 includes two protected serial ports (RS-232 and RS-485), and one noise and surge

protected USB 2.0 port, and one Fast Ethernet port. According to the version, the ReliaGATE 10-05 can

feature wireless connectivity capabilities: it can integrate a cellular modem (2G or global 3G), Wi-Fi

802.11b,g,n, and Bluetooth 4.0 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

The ReliaGATE 10-05 can be equipped with Everyware™ Software Framework (ESF), a commercial,

enterprise-ready edition of Eclipse Kura, the open source Java/OSGi middleware for IoT gateways.

The ReliaGATE 10-05 can also take advance of Everyware Cloud (separately available). Everyware Cloud

(EC) is a specialized cloud solution that allows you to easily connect, configure and manage your device

through all its life-cycle.

A Development Kit is available upon request. It allows you to quickly and easily start the development of

your applications.
