In-Vehicle Cellular Gateway
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding product: In-Vehicle Cellular Gateway. For In-vehicle WiFi
hotspot, In-vheicle telematics, and M2M (machine-to-Machine) applications, AMIT In-Vehicle Cellular Gateway
is absolutely the right choice.
With built-in world-class 4G LTE module (*1), you just need to insert SIM card from local mobile carrier to get
to Internet. By VPN tunneling technology, remote sites easily become a part of Intranet, and all data are
transmitted in a secure (256-bit AES encryption) link. The feature of DI/DO allows gateway to have real-time
response whenever events are detected by sensors.
The VHG87B series products are loaded with luxuriant security features including VPN, firewall, NAT, port
forwarding, DHCP server and many other powerful features for complex and demanding in-vehicle and M2M-
IoT applications. DC 9-36V wide-range power design allows overcoming transient power in vehicles. Terminal
block also secures power lines from falling out while vehicles are moving on the road.
Main Features:
•Built-in high speed LTE modem with dual SIMs for uplink traffic failover.
•Equip gigabit Ethernet ports to connect other IP-based devices in vehicle.
•RS232 serial port for controlling legacy serial devices, such as ticketing/payment device or other
control unit.
•Digital I/O ports for integrating sensors (door sensor, passenger counting), panic button, switch, or
other alarm devices.
•Equip 802.11b/g/n/ac concurrent dualband WiFi access point especially suitable for WiFi hotspot
service in vehicle.
•Work with internal / external portal and RADIUS server for user authentication or push
advertisements.
Before you install and use this product, please read this manual in detail for fully exploiting the functions of
this product.

1.6 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install and configure the hardware
1.6.1 Mount the Unit
The VHG87B series products can be mounted on a wall, or horizontal plane with the mounting accessories
(brackets). The mounting accessories are not screwed on the product when out of factory. Please screw the
mounting brackets on the product first.
1.6.2 Insert the SIM Card
WARNING: BEFORE INSERTING OR CHANGING THE SIM CARD, PLEASE MAKE SURE THE
GATEWAY IS POWERED OFF.
The SIM card slots are located at the front side of the device housing. You need to unscrew and remove the
outer SIM card cover before installing or removing the SIM card. Please follow the instructions to insert or
eject a SIM card. After SIM card is well placed, screw back the outer SIM card cover.
Step 1:
Loosten the screws as
below and remove the
SIM cover.
Step 2:
Push the SIM card into the
SIM slot A or slot B.
Step 3:
Push the inserted SIM card
again to eject it from the
SIM slot.

1.6.3 Install the External RF Cable and Antenna
As illustrated in Section 1.3, there are several SMA antenna Jacks for you to install the required RF cables and
antennas for the RF signal transmission and receiving. You have to purchase required RF cables and antennas
separately for a specific project or installation site to get excellent RF performance.
Since there is limited spacing for allocating all SMA antenna Jacks around the enclosure, the separation among
SMA Jacks (or direct-attached antennas) could be not the optimized arrangement. It is not recommended to
attach the SMA antennas directly to the SMA Jacks. It is very likely to get degraded RF performance at specific
circumstances. It depends heavily on the environment.
However, there are well-known rules of thumb for solving the antenna separation issue.
1: The horizontal distance between antennas should be greater than 1/4 of its wavelength, and there will be
best separation at 1/2 of its wavelength.
2. If multiple frequency antennas are near each other, then use spacing distance of the lower frequency
antenna, or even better try to satisfy the rule for both frequencies.

For example, if you have a 900MHz LTE antenna and a WiFi 2.4GHz antenna, you would want them to be
separated by at least 8.3cm to get good antenna separation.
So, it is recommended to use some external RF cables to extend and separate the adjacent antennas and get
better antenna separation and RF performance, if required.
