Andino Gateway for Raspberry Pi with RS485 + PCIe for 4G Modem or LoRa Concentrator

The Andino Gateway is a compact industrial computer based on the Raspberry Pi. It has a PCIe slot to

accommodate a 4G LTE modem or a LoRa gateway module, an RJ45 port with Gigabit Ethernet and an isolated RS485 port and can be used for routing purposes as well as for direct communication with devices.

Its robust housing and connectors, modular design, DIN rail mounting and open software standards base ensure smooth, low-maintenance operation in industrial environments.

Depending on the configuration, the Andino Gateway contains a Raspberry Pi 4 or the Compute Module CM4, which provides sufficient power even for resource-intensive processes. The use of the Compute Module 4 and our Andino CM4 IO Board is recommended.

Feature mPCI interface:

Take advantage of the standard integrated mPCI-E slot. You have the possibility to use a 4G modem / LoRa Wan network module in your Andino gateway. This increases the range of applications immensely. Thus, among other things, control tasks can be performed in

- remote locations

- without LAN network access

- temporary purposes

- use existing LoRa Wan

- test purposes

- and many more

can be realized. When using a 4G modem, a SIM card is required. This is not included in the scope of delivery.
