Ordering Guidelines

Order online
  • For quantities of up-to 10 gateways, we recommend ordering through Compulab Webshop.
    I/O modules should be ordered as separate items.
  • For quantities of over 10 gateways, it is recommended to order with our Sales Team.
    Gateways and I/O modules can be ordered as ready stacks to be pre-assembled at Compulab.
  • For initial testing and development, we recommend ordering the IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS STARTER KIT that includes the gateway and useful accessories such as AC PSU and cellular antenna.
