This IoT gateway comes with the widely-used RS232 serial interface and supports a host of critical industrial protocols, including Modbus RTU, MQTT, DHCP, SNMP, and DNP3. ✔ In addition, this compact and affordable IoT gateway supports 4G, 3G, and 2G technologies, is compatible with RMS for enhanced remote access and management capabilities, and ensures easy deployment, installation, and scalability. The challenge – entropy in smart grids At its core, energy infrastructure revolves around production and transmission. Energy is generated and then transmitted to energy grids via high, medium, and low-voltage stations and substations. From there, energy grids reach homes and businesses around the world, allowing you to read these very words. This is a complex, multistep process, so ensuring the health of this infrastructure and the efficiency of each step is of vital importance. Doing so requires continuous monitoring and control of the system, which in turn requires all its moving parts to be connected to an IoT network. In practice, this isn’t always the case. Station networks are managed by engineers and advanced supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, while the substation networks are managed by the substation controller. In other words – division instead of cohesion. To enable smart grid technology, which is to say – a cohesive energy grid constituting a single IoT network, each substation network must be connected to the greater, station network. This means the grid network grows in volume, its scale of automation increases – and a smart grid is born. But alas, the 2 nd law of thermodynamics states that in an isolated system, entropy can only increase. In the realm of IoT-powered smart grids, this entropy manifests in the inevitable downtime of the system. The larger the network, the more this entropic downtime negatively impacts its overall performance and reliability. Downtime cannot be entirely avoided, but it can definitely be minimized. The problem is that substations employ different legacy equipment. An optimised network should simplify communication to these legacy equipment and maintain as stable and seamless a connection as possible. Topology The solution – smart grid IoT gateway Many keyholes require many keys, but a single keyring is all it takes to stay efficient. In this case, the keyring is the TRB142 cellular gateway by Teltonika Networks.

The 2G and 3G network shutdowns cause challenges for those with legacy systems. Our TRB142 solves this issue with 4G connectivity and an RS232 interface. REVITALIZING OUTDATED HEATER SYSTEMS PDF PDF PDF HIGHLIGHTS ✔ The well-known shutdown of 2G and 3G networks is bringing many challenges to people and businesses that have relied solely on networking devices supporting these technologies. ✔ Thorsten Stegmaier, a software engineer from Switzerland, faced a similar predicament with his personal ALDE heater project . With ALDE’s Smart Control supporting 2G and an outdated RS232 only, it presented a danger to the viability of the solution. ✔ Fortunately, our TRB142 gateway came to the rescue, offering support for the RS232 interface and advanced 4G LTE mobile technology. Our gateway enabled remote control functionality and heater data readings, ultimately revitalizing the solution. THE CHALLENGE – 2G CALLED, SAYS IT’S DOWN As our dependency on mobile technology increases daily, the continuous development of newer versions like 5G brings exciting and futuristic innovations, like self-driving cars. However, you must always lose some to win some. In this process of growth, older generations like 2G and 3G networks face an inevitable fate – global shutdowns. The shutdown of 2G and 3G networks is a logical step to increase network bandwidth for 4G and 5G. Yet, it presents challenges for individuals and businesses relying on these technologies, as Thorsten Stegmaier experienced with his ALDE heater project. A previously used interaction solution for communication with ALDE heater consisted of ALDE’s Smart Control and SMS messaging. Unfortunately, this brought a huge challenge, as this controller had an old-school RS232 interface and was based on a 2G network, meaning it could no longer support the needed communication. Without communication with the heater, Thorsten was unable to remotely control it and attain all the necessary information about the project metrics. Replacing it with a device that supports the RS232 interface, newer mobile technologies, and is capable of enabling remote control and data reading is necessary. However, it consequently entails challenges, such as increased costs, complexities associated with technology migration, and loss of convenience because of the requirement for specialized expertise. But if there’s one thing we know, it’s that there’s no situation without a way out. TOPOLOGY THE SOLUTION – 4G TO THE RESCUE The solution to revive outdated networking components lies within a small, but very mighty and easy to install device – our TRB142 gateway. With a user-friendly web interface for hassle-free configuration and management, along with robust network connectivity support, this gateway proved to be the perfect match for Thorsten's solution. But let’s let the gateway’s features speak for themselves. First, the TRB142 gateway supports 4G LTE connectivity, which is a crucial element that makes the heater solution operate effortlessly. This connectivity empowers Thorsten with remote control and monitoring capabilities using the Telegram app, facilitated by the TRB142's support of the Python-telegram-bot library. By sending commands and requests via Telegram, the system provides Thorsten with a heater's status, error reporting, and control options, including temperature, gas levels, and overall heater functionality. The great thing about communication via Telegram is that it ensures a robust security framework, as authorized administrators have the power to restrict access for other users, allowing only approved individuals to interact with the system via Telegram. Of course, achieving all of this control and data wouldn’t be possible without the RS232 interface. This interface functions like a link intended to transmit commands from Thorsten to the heater panel and provides him back with data about the system’s status and performance. The inclusion of an RS232 interface in the TRB142 significantly reduces the cost of transitioning from ALDE's Smart Control system. This feature eliminates the need for Thorsten to invest in new heater panels with different interfaces, saving expenses. Moreover, it eliminates the requirement for acquiring particular know-how or expertise. The TRB142 not only revitalizes Thorsten's solution, giving it a second lease on life, but it also plays a crucial role in elevating the user experience. By providing exceptional flexibility and convenience, it empowers Thorsten to efficiently manage the heater and its operations with ease. LIKE THIS STORY? Share it with friends!

The TRB145 IoT gateway enables smart parking availability systems. Click here to learn how. Wireless Parking Availability Data Transmission PDF PDF SUMMARY 2019 research performed in the United States found that only 5% of workers used public transport for their daily trips and the rest were using personal vehicles. Due to the high volume of cars on the streets, up to 30% of traffic is composed of daily commuters. They are left wandering about, trying to find a free parking spot. People looking for available parking also pollute the environment with car exhaust fumes. So, is there a way to address this issue and reduce adverse effects? CHALLENGE A smart parking display system is one of the most promising solutions to reduce the negative effects caused by difficulty finding available parking. Once drivers receive clear information about parking space availability, they can immediately take appropriate action instead of wandering about finding a parking area. However, such a solution has several prerequisites to be met. Drivers need to see the available parking spaces displayed somewhere easy to see. Also, parking spaces need constant monitoring to know if they are taken. That way, vehicles can follow the directions and find an unoccupied parking space without adding traffic congestion. Then comes the question of connectivity. The display needs to receive information from parking sensors. However, a spot that is easy to see for drivers might be further away from the sensors. For example, the display board is located near a three-story parking lot entrance. Then a wired connection between the two becomes problematic, highly expensive or near impossible to implement. PARTNERS Novatronic is an expert in providing innovative passenger information solutions for public transportation. They have extensive experience with projects that deliver critical information to passengers on a daily basis. Nedap is one of the leading specialists in long-range identification systems. With over 30 years of experience with RFID technology, their goal is to secure the flow of vehicles in cities and streamline transportation, increasing overall safety. SOLUTION Novatronic, with the help of Nedap and connectivity solution from Teltonika Networks, created a system to display available parking spaces for drivers. This urban IoT solution has already been tested and installed in Belgrade, where it continues to help solve traffic congestion, exhaust fume pollution and noise issues. First, Nedap installed sensors in each parking spot connected to a communication unit. Once it collects all the information about parking availability via sensors, it is sent to a Nedap cloud server. The display board is installed farther from the sensors and still needs to acquire data from the server. In this case, a wired connection would be inconvenient as it adds extra costs and takes additional time to set up. For these reasons they chose 4G cellular connection provided by Teltonika Networks industrial LTE gateway TRB145 , installed within the display housing. TRB145 uses a 4G LTE cellular connection to retrieve the information from the server and passes on the parking space availability data to the display via the RS485 serial interface. The TRB145 gateway design is compact enough to easily fit within the display board, making it great for IoT setups that must fit in tight spaces. Also, TRB145 runs on the open-source operating system — RutOS, allowing for seamless integration with other systems and software as users can customize it according to their needs, tasks at hand and the existing infrastructure. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS TRB145 has a sturdy aluminum housing that resists vibrations near heavy and constant traffic. TRB145 has a compact design, perfect for the fast and easy deployment of urban IoT solutions and tight spaces. Thanks to multiple software features like Firewall, Open VPN and more, TRB145 is great for applications where security plays an important role. TRB145 provides stable 4G LTE cellular connectivity where wired connection isn't an option. WHY TELTONIKA NETWORKS? Teltonika Networks has extensive experience providing connectivity solutions for urban and industrial IoT setups. Novatronic found all the required functionality with our product and, after performing extensive testing, have decided to implement it into their solution.

The challenge – people counter without people A fair bit of data gathering and analysis is done behind the scenes of shopping centres. So much so, in fact, that the International Council of Shopping Centers provides a monthly industry benchmark . One of the key metrics worth collecting is people counting. In smart retail, people counters are used to estimate client traffic and make strategic decisions based on the data. These decisions range from marketing and promotions to the choice of leasing rental space in one shopping centre and not the other. In other words, this metric is an integral tool for staying competitive in the world of smart retail. The only question is – how and where do you collect this data? The technology in question is the people counting sensor, but the location of deployment is not quite clear-cut. Some shopping centres choose to install them inside, such as at each entrance . Others opt to install them outside, right before the entrance . But the bright minds of ATISoluciones had a better idea – why not implement the same concept of retail people counters, but count vehicles instead? Installed at any number of needed entrances to a shopping centre’s parking lot, their vehicle counter solution also helps optimise its operational efficiency and guides any plans for its expansion. When you know exactly how many customers to expect at any given time, and how many vehicles they represent, you know how to best allocate your resources. The solution can even be customised to integrate features like license plate recognition and even barrier access control. Their solution is perfect for parking lots without an existing occupancy notification system. The catch, however, is that this vehicle counter solution requires connectivity to work, which means ATISoluciones needed a reliable cellular router for its solution. Topology The solution – cellular router for vehicle counters ATISoluciones chose the RUT241 industrial cellular router for its in-vehicle people counter solution. This 4G router provides seamless LTE Cat 4 connectivity with speeds of up to 150 Mbps – more than enough for the needs of this solution. The RUT241 is connected to a ground-mounted metal mass detector that functions like a people counting sensor, but for vehicles. All detectors are connected directly to a modified Atis Controller PCB board via relays. The PCB board is connected to the RUT241 via a LAN cable, and the entire solution is installed in and powered by a central control cabinet. The 4G LTE router then sends the gathered data to ATISoluciones’ distributed capacity control system (SICAD) for further analysis. In addition to the inductive loop-based counting system, SICAD can incorporate two additional features. First is a license plate recognition system for managing vehicle entries and exits, and second is an AI-powered camera system for counting and correlating people counter data with that of the parking spaces. with parking zones of interest or access points within the shopping center, university, concert venues, etc. The communication is done in real-time via HTTPS and representational state transfer (REST) API, though Modbus TCP is also possible. This ensures that parking occupancy information is always up-to-date and enables immediate action in response to changing conditions, such as capacity becoming nearly full. Importantly, this cellular router is capable of aggregating data from multiple ground-mounted detectors. This simplifies the data collection process and centralizes information from multiple devices and locations, providing a more accurate and comprehensive view of parking lot usage. The RUT241 ensures an uninterrupted connection thanks to its WAN failover function, which automatically switches to an available backup connection if needed. On top of that, it is easy to install and then scale your solution with. Lastly, this cellular router is compatible with the Remote Management System (RMS) of Teltonika Networks. This allows for seamless, simple, and robust remote access, monitoring, and management capabilities and minimises both the need for physical site visits and operational costs. The RUT241 cellular router has been enabling ATISoluciones’ vehicle counter solution since 2020, and is certain to continue doing its connectivity magic for years to come. LIKE THIS STORY?

Teltonika Networks RMS enables efficient remote management of parcel terminals. Click here to learn how. Efficient Parcel Terminal Management with RMS PDF PDF PDF PDF PDF HIGHLIGHTS ✔ Parcel terminals are the golden standard of modern-day consumerism – you pick up your order when you want to, where you want to. This is only possible thanks to the sheer number of such terminals spread across as wide an area as possible. ✔ This is a recurring headache when it comes to routinely updating the terminals’ firmware and providing them with troubleshooting support. Doing so manually is incredibly expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. ✔ Using RMS, the entire process can be done remotely, easily, and securely. RMS Connect allows you to access and control the PC of any of your terminals via SSH, and to view its screen via VNC. With RMS, it’s as though you were right in front of it! THE PROBLEM – THE DARK SIDE OF FASTER SHIPPING When you decide to buy a product, you want to have as much control as you can over all parts of the process. That’s why you browse different online vendors to compare options and prices, and why you always choose the best shipping option available. In most cases – that option is picking up your shipment by yourself at the nearest parcel terminal. After all, who better to get it home than yourself? But the issue with these parcel terminals lies in their very function: at least one needs to be nearby any given customer, and there are a lot of customers in the world. These terminals run on software that requires firmware updates and troubleshooting. And since they need connectivity, each one has a networking device that also needs updates and troubleshooting, but not always by the same engineer. Sending an army of engineers to scour the land to work on every single terminal is incredibly expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. So what would be a cheaper, quicker, and more efficient way to maintain these terminals? Since the terminals have connectivity devices, this problem needs a centralizing service that would allow remote access and management of these devices, as well as of the terminal’s PC controlling it. As it happens, we have just the thing! TOPOLOGY THE SOLUTION – REMOTE MANAGEMENT FOR REMOTE SHIPPING Teltonika Network’s Remote Management System (RMS) is an IoT platform for easily managing your fleet of connectivity devices (ours or 3rd party) remotely. In this case, let’s say it’s our RUT951 high-performance industrial router. Your entire fleet of parcel terminal routers can receive an update or a routine password change within a few clicks. Reaching a malfunctioning device for troubleshooting is quick and simple, without the need for the hassles of traveling. In addition, RMS Connect allows you to access and control the PC of the terminal via SSH, and to view its screen via virtual network computing (VNC). This gives you the same support capabilities as someone standing in front of the terminal. But better than that – you now stand in front of all of your terminals at once, while sitting comfortably at home or at your office. And of course, this entire process is secured with RMS VPN, with which you can even reach the web interface of the terminal’s security cameras and check their stream when needed. All in all, RMS improves the scope and efficiency of your machine fleet maintenance and support, at the fraction of the cost of doing so manually. The same reasons for how you buy your products apply to how you work with your fleet: it’s better if you do it yourself, and if you do it comfortably. LIKE THIS STORY? Share it with friends!

The security of bicycle storage can be ensured with the TRB145 IoT gateway. Click here to learn how. Connecting A Secure Bike Storage Box PDF PDF SUMMARY Getting around with your bicycle is great on many levels. No traffic to slow you down, it’s good for the environment, and you even get exercise done. The downside is that stealing a bike or its parts is much easier than stealing a car, and the world never seems to run out of thieves. Unless you have a safe place to store your bike whenever you arrive at your destination, a chain lock is your best option. But best doesn’t always mean good, and you’re still allowing the universe to roll the dice on whether your bike will still be there when you come back. Is this a problem IoT can solve? CHALLENGE While a worldwide educational campaign about stealing being bad would undoubtedly help to a certain extent, a more realistic solution would be readily-available storage boxes designed with bikes in mind and placed strategically based on demand per area. Kind of like a highly-specialized mailbox. This sounds easy on paper, but ensuring the security of such storage boxes requires quite a bit of forethought and planning. Any cyclist should be able to open an empty storage box, but one that’s already occupied should only be accessed by whoever stored their bike in it. In other words, whatever software the user interacts with needs to be able to communicate with the internal lock system. Otherwise, the solution stops being secure, and we simply can’t have that. PARTNER JUHUU BikeBox is an Austrian company that set out to solve this very problem. Its team considers the switch from car to bike as a fundamental build block for achieving climate goals and founded the company to offer the world an intelligent, theft-proof solution. SOLUTION The BikeBox JUHUU developed is a specialized metal storage box to mount your bike and gear in. Each storage box has a lock and a QR code the user can scan using the BikeBox app. When you scan the QR code, the BikeBox system checks whether the box is occupied or not. If it is, it checks the other boxes on location and tells you which one can be opened. If it isn’t, the relay opens the box and you can safely and comfortably store your bike. This communication between the app and its server, the relay, and the locks is provided by our TRB145 industrial gateway. The relay communicates with the BikeBox hardware via an RS485 interface, ensuring that the locks and the alarm system never fail. The connection to the server and app, on the other hand, is wireless. Providing both wireless and RS485 connectivity is what makes the TRB145 excel in remote IoT setups like the BikeBox. Being compact and easy to install also helps keep the hardware of the setup as simple as possible, as space is a luxury when the service you offer is literally space.

A group of researchers created a bubble-looking instrument consisting of our TRB245 cellular gateway, which enabled reliable seawater status collection remotely. INVESTIGATING THE CUMBRE VIEJA ERUPTION WITH IoT CONNECTIVITY PDF PDF PDF HIGHLIGHTS ✔ The devastating effects of the 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption in Las Palmas caused colossal damages, not only for the island's ecosystem but also for the surrounding seawater. However, the full extent of the damage was unknown. ✔ A group of researchers from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, BarcelonaTech , Spain, were asked to investigate the effects of this volcanic eruption on the island’s surrounding seawater. The group created a bubble-looking instrument consisting of our TRB245 cellular gateway, which enabled reliable seawater status collection remotely. ✔ Apart from robust connectivity, features like compact design, low power consumption, and ease of use have made the solution as convenient and efficient as possible. THE PROBLEM – VOLCANIC PANIC While volcanoes can be mesmerizing, there is a very fine line between captivating and catastrophic. One eruption can potentially wipe out an entire local ecosystem with its waves of lava, endangering not just nature, but also the animals and people living in it. Unfortunately, with one eruption per week worldwide, such a disaster occurred on the Spanish island of La Palma in 2021 . This volcanic eruption lasted for a record-breaking 85 days from September to December and caused colossal financial damages . From the devastating impact on the lives of every citizen of the island to its nature – it seemed that every living organism suffered. But what about the waters surrounding the island? This was the question posed to the scientists and students of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, the largest engineering university in Catalonia, Spain. To answer this question, a group of researchers was dispatched to the site with the aim of observing the consequences of the volcano's eruption on the surrounding seawater. For this to be evaluated, measurements of water quality, currents, and temperature changes had to be continuously sent to the on-ground station for measurements and data logging. However, retrieving data from equipment was often complicated or even impossible. This is due to the equipment being placed in a sphere on the surface of the water, and having a tendency to drift with the sea’s currents. The group of researchers knew that network connectivity support for the entire system was the answer to the issue of the sphere’s unpredictable drifting, yet they still needed to identify the most suitable networking device for their needs. Luckily, they stumbled upon our device portfolio and found the perfect option. TOPOLOGY THE SOLUTION – THE CONNECTIVITY WAVES PROVIDE THE DATA Once the researchers got acquainted with our TRB245 M2M gateway, they were able to dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s and make their solution reliable, convenient, and efficient. Or in other words, work swimmingly . The TRB245 helped the researchers achieve their goal in three ways: cellular connectivity, compactness, and ease of use. The most essential requirement for this solution was to overcome the accessibility issue caused by the equipment’s drift and ensure the collected data is continuously transmitted in real-time. This was a piece of cake with our TRB245 gateway thanks to its LTE Cat 4 connectivity. With cellular connectivity in check, the equipment inside the sphere, like sensors for water temperature and a gyroscope for measuring waves and currents, attained robust access to the Internet and was able to send the data to the on-ground station in real-time. Consequently, the researchers could release the solution into the sea without worrying about the strength of the network connection and continuity of live data. All measuring instruments were connected to the TRB245, enabling each to receive network connectivity and thus send all collected data of water quality, currents, and temperature changes to the on-ground station. In cases where the sphere ended up in locations with no GSM coverage, an IRIDIUM gateway and satellite connection were used as a preemptive measure to ensure the continuous monitoring of seawater wouldn’t get disrupted. For this to work, the IRIDIUM gateway was connected to the TRB245 via Ethernet. Our gateways are well-known for their remarkable compactness, and that includes the TRB245. This gateway is small in size and weight, making it easily applicable in space-limited scenarios like this sphere! Also, the gateway’s power consumption ranges from <1.2 W to <5 W, which is significant because the entire solution must be powered by a battery. The TRB245’s ease of use makes every step of the instrument’s setup easy and convenient, as its configurations require no particular know-how in the networking field. All of these features ensure that researchers can effectively track and log the required seawater parameters. And as a result, these parameters allow them to continue their studies on the effects of the Cumbre Vieja eruption on the island's surrounding seawater. LIKE THIS STORY? Share it with friends!
