Gateway

By having extensive, in house, knowledge of both cellular and short-range technology, Telit is ideally positioned to integrate a gateway solution that allows the IP host and short-range end nodes to establish a connection.

Integrating short range and GSM/GPRS creates an optimal communication system not only suitable for smart grid but also for the automation of residential and commercial buildings or the management of large sites controlling HVAC (heating/ventilation/air-conditioning), lighting, access, irrigation, urban semaphores, airports and harbors.

A short-range solution that integrates a cellular gateway can provide information to the IP enabling the transmission of an alarm via SMS or the activation of an emergency call.

The GG863-SR gateway is equipped with a Telit GSM/GPRS programmable module, the GE863-PRO³, and a short range Telit module that manages the short range network. The main application runs on the ARM9 processor embedded in the GG863-SR, and a dedicated API. It was developed by Telit to manage data transmissions (receive and set up) and other operations related to GSM/GPRS or the short-range network and web interface.

Combining short range and cellular technology offers innovative solutions that opens up new horizons for short range network structures and represents another revolution for m2m technology. At a time when the world is increasingly concerned about rising energy costs, short range solutions are viewed as a leading technology helping reduce energy costs in residential and commercial buildings through smart energy products.

The integration of GSM/GPRS allows customers to fully benefit from the low power consumption of Wireless M-Bus and the intelligent ZigBee mesh network topology and from savings created by the low-cost of the technology coupled with significantly reduced data transmission costs given that only data sent through the gateway over the cellular network is subject to charges.
