EDGE INTELLIGENCE
The xDot is ARM mbed compatible meaning applications can be written and compiled quickly
online using developer friendly libraries, downloaded and hosted within the xDot. Decision makingand control is distributed to the edge, enabling data to be more actionable without the heavy lift
required to optimize RF performance, implement complex IoT middleware and security protocols
needed to deploy a low touch install. In addition, xDots come from the factory with AT command
firmware preloaded. This means you can use the xDot as an AT command driven LoRa modem.
No custom software development for the xDot is needed when operating in this mode.

ULTRA SECURE
For enhanced security, the xDot incorporates a hardware tamper resistant secure elementfrom Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, delivering secure key storage for AES-128
cryptographic encryption used in LoRaWAN networks as well as secure applications capabilities.

HIGHLIGHTS
