BoltGATE 20-25 User Manual Rev. 1-1 4 Product Overview
4 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
By offering integrated hardware and software connectivity towards the Field and the Cloud, the BoltGATE
20-25 is a Multi-service IoT Edge Gateway, EN 50155 and IP66 certified, designed to address the
challenges of the next-generation applications for smart transportation and connected railway.
The BoltGATE 20-25 is a fanless, compact unit based on the Intel®Atom™ E38xx processor; with up to
four cores, 4GB of RAM and 8GB of eMMC it exceeds the requirements of rolling stock in the TX
temperature class. Up to two internal or removable SATA disks and a user-accessible microSD slot
provide plenty of storage capacity; other features include video, audio, two protected USB 2.0 ports, four
isolated serial interfaces, Digital I/O, and CAN bus interfaces – and a wide range of connectivity
capabilities including two Gigabit Ethernet, up to two LTE Cat 4 cellular modems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low
Energy, and a dedicated internal GPS with Dead Reckoning.
The MVB versions of the BoltGATE 20-25 add integrated hardware and software components to interface
with the train bus through two MVB ports on DB9 connectors. MVB options include EMD and ESD+
interfaces, both available in Read/Transmit or Read Only configurations.
Powered by the Eurotech IoT Edge Framework, Everyware Software Framework (ESF), the BoltGATE 20-
25 offers a friendly web-based user interface that allows to visually compose powerful data flows to
acquire data from its interfaces, analyze it on the Edge, and publish it to the Cloud though the popular
MQTT protocol. Everyware Cloud, Eurotech IoT Integration Platform, completes this solution by providing
data integration to the applications and by offering complete management of the devices deployed on the
field.
