M!DGE cellular routers, specially designed for SCADA & Telemetry mission critical applications, are well suited to many different wireless applications like POS, ATM, Lottery and Security/Surveillance applications.
M!DGE is Linux OS based and has been designed with attention to detail, performance, quality and reliability. All relevant state-of-the-art concepts have been carefully implemented.
M!DGE is well proven within the market since 2012 in thousands of industrial installations in tens of countries worldwide providing 24/7 reliable service.
M!DGE2, the 2nd generation of M!DGE with 2 SIM cards and 4 Ethernet ports, introduced in 2018, is the top equipment for SCADA communication if a cellular network is required.
M!DGE together with RACOM RipEX radio modems offers an unrivalled solution for combining Cellular and UHF/VHF licensed radio in a single hybrid network. Both provide the same customized serial SCADA protocols on COM interfaces.
