Edge D
The wireless platform with DECT-NR+ technology for license-free long-range communication with low power consumption.
- Range up to 2.5 km
- Compatible with all Ethernet-based field and safety protocols
- License-free 1.9 GHz exclusive band
- Designed for ultra-reliable (uRLLC) & low-latency applications
Overview
Edge D is the high-performance DECT NR+ wireless platform that enables ultra-reliable, low-latency non-celluar 5G connectivity over short to medium distance. Based on latest YANG-model architecture, EDGE D will become the first fully managed DECT NR+ client on the planet. It combines wireless communication, data conversion, and control in a single compact device. Wireless safety support / URLLC will be available via software add-ons.
The compact form factor with front-facing ports only, and flexible mounting options (wall mount or DIN rail) makes Edge D ideal for small AGV / AMR units and optimizes space utilization. Advanced power management features improve duty cycles and reduce power consumption, making Edge D the ideal solution for OEMs looking to increase range without trading reliability in their AGV / AMR systems.
Edge D demonstrates its strengths wherever mobile applications place high demands on roaming and configurability. The full-featured gNMI/NETCONF API enables remote configuration and real-time monitoring without SSH access, but with support for Python, Go, C++, and other scripting languages. Additionally, IoT data can be aggregated and forwarded directly at the edge via MQTT.
As part of the Edge Family, the Edge D is based on the powerful i.MX8 processor, offers numerous inputs and outputs, and is specifically designed for mobile applications. In addition to the currently available Edge X with Wi-Fi 6E and the Edge D with DECT-NR+, a Wi-Fi 7 variant (Edge 7), and an EchoRing variant (Edge E) will follow.
