Compulab introduces IOT-LINK – a miniature, cost effective industrial IoT gateway

6-May-2025 – Compulab introduces IOT-LINK – a low cost, industrial IoT gateway, offering rich connectivity and versatile functionality in a miniature, rugged housing. Built around the NXP i.MX93 System-on-Chip, IOT-LINK provides an array of features required in typical IoT control and monitoring applications:

IOT-LINK IoT Edge Gateway
  • Worldwide LTE/4G modem
  • Gbit Ethernet and WiFi 6
  • 2x RS485 / CAN-FD , 3x DI / DO
  • Bluetooth mesh, Thread and Zigbee
  • Secure boot, TPM and Hardware Watchdog

Designed for Industrial IoT

Leveraging Compulab’s long-term experience with the industrial IoT market, IOT-LINK design addresses the challenges of IoT deployment in industrial settings:

IOT-LINK IoT Edge Gateway
  • High reliability and 24/7 operation
  • Wide temperature range of -40C to 80C
  • 5 year warranty and 15 year availability
  • Customer O/S and application imaging service
  • ODM rebranding with custom logo and labeling
  • Support for DIN-rail and wall mounting

Rich set of interfaces, industrial grade quality, advanced security features and long-term availability make IOT-LINK an excellent solution for a wide range of IoT applications such as HVAC monitoring, industrial predictive maintenance, energy storage, EV charging, vehicle telematics and fleet management and lighting control.

IOT-LINK Software Support

Compulab supports IOT-LINK with ready-to-run Debian 12 Linux with built-in Docker support and easy-to-use deployment tools, allowing customers to focus on application development.

Customers who prefer to configure a custom O/S image can use the IOT-LINK Yocto BSP which includes Linux kernel 6.6, Yocto Project 5.0 and U-Boot boot-loader. OTA updates are supported using a pre-configured Mender layer.

In addition, IOT-LINK also supports BalenaOS thanks to continuous cooperation between Compulab and Balena.

Also available as SBC and SOM

For projects that require custom housing with simple integration, IOT-LINK is also offered without the enclosure – as SBC-IOT-LINK Single Board Computer.

Customers that require a fully customized form-factor or functionality can leverage IOT-LINK for development and quick proof-of-concept and then make a seamless transition to a fully custom design using Compulab’s MCM-iMX93 System-on-Module, while benefiting from proven hardware and existing software stack.
