The Cisco® 910 Industrial Router (IR910) enables versatile wireless connectivity to your Internet of Things (IoT) use cases and applications The IR 910 is a programmable IOT gateway that seamlessly integrates ecosystem partners’ solutions to support a variety of IOT/IOE applications, including environmental monitoring, asset tracking, waste management, smart parking, metering, building automation, street lighting, and more.
Product Overview
The Cisco 910 Industrial Router is part of the Cisco 900 Series Industrial Routers Family. This rugged IoT gateway can aggregate both the wireless sensor networks (WSN), including Low Power WAN (LPWA) technology such as Semtech® LoRa and wired sensors and ties them into an IP network. Offering an open hardware and software platform, the IR910 can quickly and easily host partner applications and sensor communication cards. Use the IR910 for local WSN management, raw data collection, caching, processing, and forwarding to data centers in the cloud through a variety of WAN IP interfaces.
The Cisco 910 Industrial Routers are shown in Figure 1.
With a modular and open-slot design, the Cisco IR910 provides a common gateway platform to adapt to a variety of wired and wireless sensor technologies for different use cases with benefits including less development effort, quick time to market, and Cisco IP domain expertise. Offering a programmable environment and sufficient headroom of CPU horsepower, memory, and storage, the IR910 natively complies with Cisco Fog Computing architecture, executes distributed data processing at the edge of an IP network, and allows you to host partners’ applications (Figure 2).
The Cisco 910 Industrial Router is designed with a modular platform to build a secure, reliable, and scalable field network infrastructure. It offers:
● Open hardware slot to support Cisco or partner’s sensor communication card: A field-replaceable sensor communication card can be inserted into the open slot to aggregate a wireless sensor network, for example with IEEE-802.15.4 standard, LWPA or other proprietary technologies. Authorized partners can easily produce the card according to Cisco reference design specifications through Cisco Solution Partner Program.
● Programmable environment to host partner applications: The Cisco IR910 supports the compile languages such as C/C++, Python, and Java.
● Fog computing: The Cisco IR910 adheres to Cisco Fog Computing architecture to execute distributed data processing at the network edge.
● Rich types of interfaces to match different scenarios: Based on configuration of different hardware models, the IR910 can support various interfaces, such as Ethernet (RJ45 and fiber), serial (RJ45), cellular (3G),
Wi-Fi, USB, solid-state drive (SSD) storage, and an open slot for the sensor communication card.
The Cisco 910 Industrial Router has three models, shown in Figure 3.
Figure 4 shows the interfaces and LEDs on the Cisco 910 Industrial Router.
