Major news from Logic IO!
 Back
in May 2006, we made
history by introducing the RTCU MX2 professional
device. At that time, this was one of the most advanced automotive
devices on the market, and it was well-received by our customers.
Over the years, several facelifts were made to meet the requirements of
our customers - the latest with the RTCU MX2 turbo
LTE in 2019.
The MX2 is undoubtedly our most successful device
over the last 20+ years - not only in terms of volume but also as a
technological milestone that impacted all devices after that.
We are therefore extremely humble when we today
announce the successor to the RTCU MX2 legacy - Welcome to the
RTCU LX2 pro!
The
RTCU LX2 pro is
a powerful successor to the
RTCU MX2 turbo with
significant features, capacity, power
and security improvements. The RTCU LX2 pro
is based on the latest
LX hardware architecture, offering an
unprecedented balance between price and performance.
The
RTCU LX2 pro is designed to meet the ever-increasing challenges on security, in that it
offers full TLS on all major protocols. It
includes a hardened protected execution
environment with dual-boot and automatic
fallback and recovery.
The
RTCU LX2 pro
device is designed from the ground up for
professional M2M / IoT applications with strong onboard
I/O capabilities and multiple
communication interfaces such as LTE Cat.4,
BLE, CAN bus, RS232,
RS485, and 1-Wire.
The RTCU LX2 pro
has an onboard Dual-band Multi-constellation GNSS
positioning engine that supports the concurrent
reception of all four global GNSS systems. The Dual-band
receiver tracks not only L1 but also L5, significantly
mitigating the multipath effect in an urban environment
- ultimately improving positioning accuracy
substantially. The RTCU LX2 pro
is also available in versions with Dead-Reckoning and
RTK.
The RTCU LX2 pro improves
on the RTCU MX2 turbo
in several ways, most notably the LX architecture,
higher performance and capacity, Bluetooth
BLE, Enhanced security,
and Worldwide coverage. The RTCU LX2 pro
has the same physical size and housing as the RTCU
MX2 turbo
and offers almost perfect hardware and software
backward compatibility.
