Flexible solution

The Squid.link 2B supports Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave Plus, Wireless M-Bus, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Bluetooth Classic, and WLAN HAN networks. Communication with servers and e.g. smartphones can be established via WLAN, Ethernet (to local modem), or cellular networks. You are also able to include a dual SIM card slot in the gateway giving you maximum flexibility. The price is extremely competitive since you will only pay for your selected communication modules. You are no longer dependent on one vendor but can combine your Home Area network exactly the way you prefer.

The gateway includes processor power that allows you to run your solution with top performance. The memory options leave room for data storage and logging matching the requirements of your solution. With an optional battery backup, your solution works even in cases of power loss.

Extend the functionalities of the Squid.link 2B with custom hardware options. By adding up to two external antennas, you can increase the range of your solution. If your solution requires additional flash memory, include a Micro SD card in the gateway.

The Squid.link 2B is configured when put into production. You can also design the appearance of the gateway the way you want. There are numerous design options that can be tailored according to your needs.

Secure gateway

The Squid.link 2B gives you the option to include hardware-accelerated encryption in the gateway. By opting for one of the three hardware chips, you can provide your customers with a secure IoT solution.

You are also able to include an Apple MFi chip to certify your solution with Apple giving you more opportunities to integrate devices with your solution. To include this option, the final product must be certified by Apple.
