xPico 250 Embedded IoT Gateway Overview

Featuring advanced enterprise security, intelligent networking, production ready software, and pre-integration with the Percepxion™ platform, xPico 250 line of embedded IoT gateways enables OEMs to go to market faster with their industrial IoT solutions.

Highly Integrated Wi-Fi in a Compact Design

Dual-band Wi-Fi, antenna diversity, Enterprise Wi-Fi security and robust wireless connectivity management deliver higher performance and scalable deployment within noisy industrial and enterprise settings. The xPico 250 line of embedded IoT gateways makes it easy to deploy robust Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity without writing complex drivers. The industry-leading compact SMT footprint of the xPico 250 family allows it to fit it into any design and operate in extreme environments.

Robust Connectivity for Reliable Data Access and Management

Simplify embedded application development and go to market faster with the xPico 250 gateway’s built-in network communications engine and flexible system integration modes. Completely offload IoT communications from your embedded microcontroller when operating as a network co-processor or use it as a wireless microcontroller with the provided SDK.

Field-tested TruPort^® Serial supports transparent pass-through of hundreds of proprietary serial and standard Fieldbus protocols and TruPort^® Socket enables complete control over multiple connections via TCP, UDP or TLS. Configure and control the gateway operation from the host microcontroller side using command mode or the network side with Web Service APIs and XML configuration data.

Comprehensive Device Security Framework

The xPico 250 line of embedded IoT gateways includes Infinishield™, a comprehensive suite of built-in device security applications that offer robust and secure connections, data-at-rest protection for keys, configuration, secure boot and secure firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates, user role-based access control and fine-grained policy-based network service control.

Cloud-based Centralized Management Service

Scalable and secure cloud-based device management for the xPico 250 embedded IoT gateways, Percepxion™ combines full operational awareness of any size deployment with over-the-network remote device management and maintenance to reduce your total cost of ownership.
