July 16, 2018

BEC Technologies has introduced the BEC MX-230 industrial M2M router, a low-power, wide area network-enabled device supporting both Cat.NB1 and Cat.M1 technologies.

According to a press release, the BEC MX-230 optimizes range and service coverage for low-cost, low-bandwidth and low-power IoT/M2M communication, and features a compact and rugged design that makes it ideal for harsh environments and hard-to-reach areas.

The MX-230 features two gigabit Ethernet interfaces with one port for LAN or ETH WAN connectivity, an RS-232 Serial interface-enabling serial device connectivity over IP, optional A-GPS, advanced software and management tools, centralized control and visibility in a distributed environment.

Dual WAN interfaces provide redundancy and seamless failover between the mobile carrier network and the wireline, while an interchangeable gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN ensures continuous Internet connectivity.

Load balancing and traffic prioritization mechanisms can be enabled to enhance failover performance and maximize bandwidth utilization for critical applications delivery, the release said.
