Kontron announced the availability of its Machine-to-Machine deployable system, the KM2M806XT. The KM2M806XT comes complete with application-ready middleware and supports M2M digital device connectivity right out of the box. An optimal platform specifically for factory and smart building automation applications, Kontron’s new M2M system is industrial temp rated (-40 to +85 °C) and includes a cast aluminium case with thermal management capabilities needed for operation under extended temperature conditions.
The KM2M806XT is based on the Intel Atom 600 MHZ processor. The external USB port simplifies use of M2M SDKs provided by M2M ISVs. Sufficient storage is provided for M2M smart service applications, middleware and OS on the 4GB internal MicroSD card. The built-in accelerometer, dual HDMI and HD audio support enables designers to implement both movement tracking and intensive audio/video smart services features. The Kontron KM2M806XT supports 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band for 802.11a. An integrated 802.15.4 WPAN transceiver flexibly supports a wide range of protocols and network topologies, such as 6LoPAN, Wireless HART, ZigBee and others, using a unique 802.15.4 MAC layer interface. The Kontron M2M System KM2M806XT also includes driver support for pre-certified cellular modules that can be pre-installed. Other pre-certified 3G/4G modules and drivers will be added to the Kontron M2M System for additional connectivity development. To showcase the capabilities of its M2M product lines, Kontron will be exhibiting at Mobile World Congress and Embedded World.
