1. M!DGE router

1.1. Introduction

Although M!DGE wireless routers have been specifically designed for SCADA and telemetry, they are well suited to a variety of wireless applications. M!DGE HW and SW are ready to maintain reliable and secure connections from a virtually unlimited number of remote locations to a central server. Both standard Ethernet/IP and serial interfaces are available. Moreover, two digital inputs and two digital outputs can be used for direct monitoring and control of application devices.

M!DGE versatility is further enhanced by two independent Ethernet ports. These can be configured to either support two independent LANs (e.g. LAN and WAN settings), or simply connect two devices within one LAN (effectively replacing an Eth switch). M!DGE software is based on proven components, including an Embedded Linux operating system and standard TCP/IP communication protocols.

Combining M!DGE with a MG102i two-SIM router in one network is quite straightforward because of fully compatible interface settings and behaviour on all HW interfaces. Thanks to the compact size and versatility of M!DGE, wireless routers prove indispensable in many SCADA and telemetry, as well as POS, ATM, lottery and security/surveillance applications.

M!DGE together with RACOM RipEX radio router offers an unrivalled solution for combining GPRS and UHF/VHF licensed radios in a single network. Even a single RipEX in the center of a M!DGE network allows for efficient use of addressed serial SCADA protocols.
