More preeminent news from Logic IO!
 In
the last newsletter, we had the rare honor of introducing the
RTCU LX5 series as the first member in
a brand new product
series based on an entirely new hardware platform, coined the
LX hardware architecture!
The time has come to introduce yet another member of the LX family.
We are now proud to present the new
RTCU LX4 pro!
The
RTCU LX4 pro is
a powerful successor to the
RTCU DX4i pro with significant
improvements in features, capacity, power, and security. In addition,
the RTCU LX4 pro is based on the
latest LX hardware architecture, offering an
unprecedented balance between price and performance.
 The
RTCU LX4 pro is positioned for a broad range of
professional industrial Internet of Things
applications. With onboard M-Bus / Wireless M-Bus
and pulse counting inputs (S0), it is a perfect component in
advanced Energy Management applications.
The device is based on the
NX32L (NX32
for Linux) architecture, which embraces many new
technologies and at the same time maintains full
backward compatibility, which ensures already
implemented and tested NX32 applications can execute without
changes.

The
RTCU LX4 pro is designed to meet the ever-increasing challenges on security,
by offering full TLS on all major protocols and
includes a hardened protected execution
environment with dual-boot and automatic
fallback and recovery.
The
RTCU LX4 pro
device is designed from the ground up for
professional M2M / IIoT applications with strong
onboard I/O capabilities and multiple
communication interfaces such as a Worldwide LTE Cat.4
Cellular Engine,
Wired and Wireless M-Bus, LAN, RS232,
RS485, and 1-Wire.
The
RTCU LX4 pro
rests on the
RTCU M2M Platform,
that brings all the
necessary tools together to develop, implement
and maintain today’s sophisticated M2M/IIoT
applications.
