FreeWave Announces Programmable Appliance to Deliver IIoT Edge Intelligence

FreeWave Technologies, an industrial, secure Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networking solutions provider, recently announced the availability of the ZumIQ App Server, programmable hardware injecting ruggedized edge intelligence into IIoT networks and sensor ecosystems. This programmable network appliance is designed to provide a secure home for applications relying on sensor or device data to deliver industrial process intelligence.

“Industrial users want to harness the power of edge intelligence by deploying applications in their wired and wireless networks,” said Scott Allen, CMO, FreeWave Technologies. “Our customers tell us they are developing software applications on developer platforms and require a rugged C1D2 device, like the ZumIQ App Server, for application deployment.”

Key benefits of the ZumIQ App Server include:

• App Development and Deployment utilizing any Linux-compatible language
• App Deployment to Wired or Wireless Networks in combination with FreeWave ZumLink 900 MHz Industrial Radios or other wired or wireless devices
• Edge Intelligence in Harsh Outdoor Conditions with a rugged C1D2 designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and last for years in the field
• Low Power Consumption for remote deployments requiring batteries, fuel cells, solar, wind turbines or DC non-grid power sources.
