Raven Series

The AirLink® Raven Series of intelligent gateways has been our flagship lineup of 2G and 3G gateways for years, with proven reliability and performance. Today, the Ravens are being succeeded by the LS Series. With a slightly smaller footprint than the Raven XE and XT, the LS300 will fit into the same enclosures and is more rugged, offers multiple interfaces (Ethernet, Serial, Digital I/O, and USB), GPS, and support for HSPA+ networks.

Overview

ALEOS™ embedded intelligence is the power behind AirLink gateways that enables them to connect with industrial, enterprise, and transportation equipment out-of-the-box. Its rich set of configurable parameters simplifies device deployment and decreases your time-to-market by:

  1. Providing 2-way communication between connected machines and AirLink gateways over Ethernet, Serial, Digital and Analog I/O, USB, and Wi-Fi
  2. Getting machine information in and out of standard protocols.
  3. Sending and receiving secure communication packets over cellular networks to backend IT systems and cloud services

With automatic failover to other cellular networks, ALEOS is built to get connected, stay connected, and never get disconnected. Together with AirVantage Management Service, ALEOS enables you to set up your own security and networking settings (ie. VPN tunneling, port forwarding, and routing); activate GPS location tracking; and generate reports without any programming.
