Router is Azure Certified for IoT

Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT allows businesses to reach customers where they are, working with an ecosystem of devices and platforms, allowing for faster time to production.

With Microsoft Azure Certified for Internet of Things (IoT) the professional router MRO-L200 from INSYS icom allows a direct interconnection to Microsoft Azure projects. Thereby the MRO-L200 router guarantees protected, reliable connectivity via MQTT. The certified router offers customers of Microsoft Azure the opportunity to capture data from distributed applications, irrespective of protocols and with no vendor-specific limitations.

The compact, high-performance MRO-L200 router is based on a modular platform and supports cloud as well as edge computing (by use of built-in Linux environment). In addition to its high-performance hardware the 4G cellular router is equipped with a 5-port switch, an RS232 port, I/O interfaces and two 4G antenna connections that enable an optional data rate enhancement (MIMO). In addition to professional data transmission INSYS icom realises classic applications like remote maintenance, remote operation or condition monitoring as well as individual industrial IoT solutions.

“Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT validates our ability to jumpstart customers’ IoT projects with pre-tested device and operating system combinations,” said Markus Heider, head of development at INSYS icom. “Decreasing the usual customization and work required for compatibility ensures INSYS icom helps customers get started quickly on their IoT solution.
