June 13, 2012
Application-ready platform with enhanced wireless capabilities to simplify connecting devices to the Cloud.

Flexible, application-ready smart gateway accelerates the development of M2M applications and offers enhanced wireless capabilities to simplify connecting devices to the business. The ReliaGATE 50-21, an industrial grade multi-service gateway designed to enable M2M applications in a variety of environments, uses an Intel Atom processor to deliver communications, computation power and a middleware application framework for connecting devices to the cloud. The ReliaGATE runs on Wind River Linux 4.3 and includes the Everyware Software Framework (ESF) application middleware to simplify development. The hardware platform is ready to deploy and natively integrated with the recently launched Eurotech Everyware Cloud 2.0 M2M platform to collect and manage M2M device data and quickly deploy solutions on the Internet of Things. Connectivity options include 3G cellular, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, GPS and Zigbee 802.15.4. An integrated routing application configures, manages and routes all data and all connectivity through the interfaces via a web based interface, locally or Over-The-Air (OTA).

Accordng to Kurt Hochanadel, Product Marketing Manager, Eurotech,  "Our goal is to help companies easily manage their M2M applications with an end-to-end solution for connecting devices and storing data in the cloud. This new smart gateway product family immediately connects distributed devices and sensors with the business application and the IT infrastructure. For the developer, it is the entry point to our cloud solution: on the embedded device side, it delivers the benefits of Eurotech ESF (Everyware Software Framework), the software framework for effortless, highly portable programming; on the enterprise side, it delivers an easy path to data consumption and device monitoring though Eurotech Cloud services."
