Key Features

  • Power Efficient
  • GuaranLink Reliability
  • Secure Wireless
  • Easy Deployment

Low Power Consumption Enables Solar-powered Battery Operation

The OnCell 3120-LTE-1 provides two standby modes to reduce power consumption when the device is idle, enabling it to operate using solar power. The sleep mode effectively reduces the power consumption to less than 2 Watts. The OnCell can be woken up from the sleep mode using remote SMS control commands or based on a preset schedule. The hibernation mode reduces the OnCell gateway's power consumption even more to less than 40 milliwatts until it is woken up based on a preconfigured schedule. You can wake the OnCell from hibernation mode by using the Schedule Management function.

GuaranLink Enables Uninterrupted Connectivity to Your Devices

GuaranLink's 4-tier connection check helps cellular devices automatically detect connection issues, such as an unresponsive base station or deterioration of the connection quality below an acceptable level, and trigger a recovery process to resume cellular connections before these issues lead to a complete network failure.

Secure Wireless for Remote Control

Moxa’s OnCell LTE gateways provide secure VPN communication in both server and client roles. Network protocols, such as IPsec,GRE, and OpenVPN, are supported to help you easily establish secure and reliable connections between two networks. The OnCell 3120-LTE-1 also meets the technical security requirements of the IEC-62443 security standard to provide high device-level security.

Easy Deployment and Smooth Operation

The powerful OnCell Central Manager software tool can easily configure and manage a high volume of remote devices over cellular networks including remotely rebooting and performing firmware upgrades. The dashboard provides visibility into device information and status while cross-platform monitoring can be realized by integrating the RESTful APIs provided by the tool into your applications.

Applications

Water Treatment Systems

Water-treatment systems require reliable data collection and monitoring throughout the treatment and distribution processes to ensure the safety and quality of drinking water. Both the quality and quantity of water is monitored by devices installed along the distribution lines in remote locations. The OnCell 3120-LTE-1 provides low-power, reliable, and secure connectivity so that the device data can be sent to the control center for remote monitoring and control.


Smart Street Lighting

As governments continue to implement smart city infrastructure, street lights are increasingly being wireless connected to automatically adjust brightness and conserve energy without compromising on public safety. The OnCell 3120-LTE-1 can simplify the process of transforming legacy lighting systems into smart energy-conserving systems by offering low-power seamless 4G LTE data communication in a rugged wireless device. The low power consumption and power saving features make this gateway ideal for use in solar-powered smart city infrastructure.
