The encrypted data is then sent to MindSphere, where it is available for processing and analysis. This single-device solution offers combined data acquisition, conversion, and communication capabilities with MindSphere. End devices can connect via serial, wireless LAN, optical, or Ethernet connections. The connection to MindSphere can be configured with redundant paths, either via LTE or copper/fiber Ethernet, and users benefit from a high-bandwidth connection to remote locations. Its proven reliability and ability to operate in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and in harsh environments make the Ruggedcom RX1400 with MindConnect an ideal choice for MindSphere data acquisition in industrial applications such as electric power, transportation, and oil and gas.
The Ruggedcom RX1400 with VPE1400 is a compact mobile router that combines Ethernet switching, wireless LAN, routing, a virtual machine environment, and a firewall with the same wide-area connectivity options as LTE or Gigabit fiber. The Ruggedcom VPE1400 allows applications to run in a virtual environment, which is securely partitioned from the Ruggedcom ROX operating system and has full access to the RX1400's network, wireless LAN, serial connection, and LTE interfaces.
