1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
The MLiS MLB-G1103 is a LTE wireless terminal. It is designed for RS232/RS422/RS485 communication
over TCP/IP via any readily available LTE carrier network. Overall, they are more cost and time effective
to use remote solutions to combine Machine to Machine over diverse locations without having first to
establish and invest in a huge complex network.
The MLB-G1103 wireless terminal series use the DB9 Connector to provide data communication
interface and the DC jack to provide power input. LEDs are used to indicate the status of the wireless
terminal.
The MLB-G1103 wireless terminal can be used to provide a wireless communication link to many
applications, including metering, fleet and asset management, vending, security and alarm monitoring,
e-maintenance and other telemetry applications.
