MTX-2050 module has been designed for wireless integration over 2G/3G/LTE network of various remote devices (eg. measuring units, PLC controllers, I/O stations, operator panels) equipped with serial port RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet port.

With compact, robust design, attractive technical features and easy to use configuration tools, the MTX-2050 gateway is an optimal solution for demanding wireless telemetry, control, diagnostic, surveillance and alarm systems. Module is equipped with LTE modem and optionally can be produced with MIM (Machine Identification Module) replacing or backing-up standard SIM card. It can be powered from a wide range DC voltage sources (10,8-53 V).

MTX-2050 can be used as wireless gateway for Ethernet and serial port, but it can also play a role of local Master querying periodically an external device for user defined recourses. In such case MTX-2050 creates mirror of the external resources in the memory and detects alarms, state changes and fulfilled logic conditions incorporating raw and calculated values. Data are transmitted via 2G/3G/LTE network according to user defined rules. Data may be logged with precise timestamp on microSD card according to configured schedule or on event.
