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 Store and
Device Management platform. The Conduit features Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Bluetooth
Low Energy (BT/BLE), GNSS, and two accessory card slots that enable users to
plug in MultiConnect® 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™ and xDot™ long range RF modules
connected to remote 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. Quick-to-deploy and easy to customize and
manage, the Conduit communications gateway realizes your IoT application.

From the Gateway to the Endpoint
MultiConnect Conduit is the center of an
integrated IoT platform and comes
with the following options:
MultiConnect mCard
MultiConnect mCards provide
the flexibility needed to manage
diverse infrastructures, supporting
a wide range of interfaces and
communication protocols including:
·Multi-Function Serial, GPIO, Ethernet
·LoRa LPWAN
MultiConnect mDot – Connecting the “Things”
MultiConnect mDots are inexpensive RF radio modules able
to connect low data-rate M2M devices to the internet through
the Conduit IoT gateway using the LoRa Alliance LoRaWAN
specification, a long-range, Low-Power Wireless Access
Network (LPWAN) technology.
mDots bring intelligence, reduced cost and
complexity to the very edge of the network
by running the ARM® mbed™ OS on a
low power ARM Cortex®-M4 processor.
With support for multiple interfaces,
just about any “Thing” can now be cost
eectively connected to the Conduit
and choice of cloud data provider.
Easily Deploy and Manage Assets Via DeviceHQ
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-field
assets. The DeviceHQ
application store gives
your business the power
to innovate operations
management and create
value-added services.
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
HIGHLIGHTS
Application Development Tailored to You
MultiConnect Conduit provides both the IBM Node-RED
graphical, drag-and-drop interface and mLinux development
environments, oering IT professionals, integrators and
developers alike, programming choice and capability to

actionable outgoing data.
For the Advanced Developer –
Open mLinux Development Environment
With a completely open Linux development environment, our
mLinux distribution is based on the Open Embedded/Yocto
project; providing hundreds of open source packages and
extensive 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 and
Node-RED Technologies
Applications can be simply created and deployed by the
click of a button based upon IBM’s Node-RED visual
development 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.
