MultiConnect® Conduit™
Programmable Gateway for theInternet of Things

MultiConnect® Conduit™ is the industry’s most configurable, manageable,
and scalable cellular communications gateway for industrial IoT applications.
Network engineers can remotely configure and optimize their Conduit
performance through DeviceHQ®, the world’s first IoT Application Storeand Device Management platform.
The Conduit features two accessory card slots that enable users to plug inMultiConnect® mCard™ accessory cards supporting their preferred wired or
wireless interface to connect a wide range of assets locally to the gateway.
Available options include a LoRaWAN™ mCard capable of supporting
thousands of MultiConnect® mDot™ long range RF modules connected toremote sensors or appliances.
Both IBM’s Node-RED, a graphical, drag-and-drop interface and mLinux™
Open Embedded/Yocto opens the complex world of IoT application
development to a wider user group to monitor and control their assets.

BENEFITS·· Connect most any asset to yourpreferred data management platform·· Backhaul options include 4G-LTE,
3G, 2G cellular or Ethernet for costeffective global deployment·· Quick-to-deploy, manage and scaledifferentiated services using theDeviceHQ IoT Application Store·· Incredible asset management range
with LoRa™ – up to 10 miles/15 km lineof sight, 1-3 miles/2 km thru buildings** Represents ideal network configuration and equipment set up.

Quick-to-deploy and easy to customize and manage, the Conduit
communications gateway realizes your IoT application.

1Results vary depending on payload amount, transmission
frequency, spreading factor used, as well as terrain, RFinterference and obstruction type (e.g., metal, cement, etc.)

Application Development Tailored to You

Easily Deploy and Manage Assets Via DeviceHQ

MultiConnect Conduit provides both the IBM Node-REDgraphical, drag-and-drop interface and mLinux development
environments, offering IT professionals, integrators anddevelopers alike, programming choice and capability toutilize the distributed intelligence capabilities of the Conduit
to provide analytics on incoming data and provide moreactionable outgoing data.

MultiTech DeviceHQ is the M2M industry’s first IoT online
application store to enable customers to easily deploy and scale
applications to their connected devices. Drag-and-drop tools
easily allow customers
to create and manage
applications for in-fieldassets. The DeviceHQ
application store gives
your business the power
to innovate operations
management and create
value-added services.

For the Advanced Developer –Open mLinux Development Environment
With a completely open Linux development environment, ourmLinux distribution is based on the Open Embedded/Yocto
project; providing hundreds of open source packages andextensive language support.
This development path is recommended for those wanting
to port existing applications, who have strong language
preferences, or who need complete firmware control.

The mLinux Distribution Includes:··Operating System: Linux 3.12 Kernel, Yocto 1.6··Language Support: Java, Ruby, Perl, Python, C/C++, PHP,
C# and JavaScript··Packages: SQLite (Database), Ligttpd (Web Server),BusyBox (Core Utilities)

Fast and Intuitive Programming with Node.js andNode-RED Technologies
Applications can be simply created and deployed by theclick of a button based upon IBM’s Node-RED visualdevelopment tool. Incredibly user-friendly, Node-RED is an
intuitive graphical programming tool ideal for rapid prototyping,
designed for IT professionals to optimize and scale the edge
behavior of their IoT network.

Benefits··“Low Touch” asset deployment reduces costs,
complexity and time··Reduce truck-rolls using remote performance
management and asset updates··Easily scales to your network needs··Browse and download a wide variety of custom
applications tailored to your business needs

Serial··Multi-Function Serial, GPIO, LoRa LPWAN··Ethernet, Xbee and CAN and MOD bus releasing in 2016··Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, GNSS native to the Conduit board
releasing in 2016

MultiConnect mDot – Connecting the “Things”
MultiConnect mDots are inexpensive RF radio modules able
to connect low data-rate M2M devices to the internet throughthe Conduit IoT gateway using the LoRa Alliance LoRaWAN
specification, a long-range, Low-Power Wireless AccessNetwork (LPWAN) technology.
mDots bring intelligence, reduced costand complexity to the very edge of thenetwork by running the ARM® mbed™
OS on a low power ARM Cortex®-M4processor. With support for multiple
interfaces, just about any “Thing” cannow be cost effectively connected to theConduit and choice of cloud data provider.
