Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE

Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE

The Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE is a robust, versatile, and easy-to-implement industrial router that provides 4G connectivity to industrial machines and devices.

Enabling high-speed internet makes it possible to perform comprehensive remote system monitoring and analysis which can increase system uptime and reduce costly maintenance trips.

 

 

 

High-speed cellular internet access

  • Secure LTE Cat-4 connectivity for 4G networks with 3G fallback. 
  • Fast data transfer: Download up to 100 Mbit/s, Upload up to 50 Mbit/s. 
  • Nano SIM-card slot. The user can use any locally available SIM-card supporting LTE 4G (LTE Cat-4).
  • Transparent transfer of any TCP/UDP based protocol, for example, MQTT and OPC UA. 
 

All-in-one solution

  • PoE (Power over Ethernet) option, use a single cable for both power and communication. 
  • Integrated dual antennas with MIMO support. 
  • GNSS satellite positioning function (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou). 
  • Built-in firewall, NAT, and DHCP server. 
  • Host interface RJ45 with Ethernet.  
 

Designed for industrial use & harsh environments

  • Industrial internet router ideal for applications within automation, transportation, telematics, public safety, and industrial IoT. 
  • Unique and industrial form-factor; M50 through-hole enables it to be mounted on any flat surface.
  • Easy to use and configure - use the built-in web page or CLI with REST-commands for configurations and diagnostics. 

 

 

 

Since its launch six years ago, the Anybus Wireless Bolt has enabled wireless Ethernet access to thousands of industrial applications. With a rugged, integrated, and unique form factor for bolt-on-machine mounting, the Wireless Bolt solution is proven and trusted in the most demanding industrial environments globally. Building on this success, HMS Networks has now launched the Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE.  

 

 

The Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE is an industrial-grade router that provides high-speed transparent internet access to remote industrial machines via an LTE (4G) network with 3G fallback. This enables users to perform comprehensive remote monitoring and analysis targeting increased system uptime and reduced costly maintenance trips. 

The Wireless Bolt LTE is compatible with any TCP/UDP-based protocol such as MQTT and OPC UA, and can also be used to bring 4G connectivity to applications that do not have internet access or are limited to communicating over legacy standards such as 2G or 3G.
The robust IP66 and IP67-rated enclosure allows the Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE to be installed in the toughest of operating environments, and the wide temperature coverage (−40°C to 65°C/149°F) makes it suitable for outdoor applications. The Wireless Bolt LTE is installed either by bolting it to a 50 mm hole in the machine or cabinet where it creates a tight-fitting connection on the exterior of the machine or by mounting it to a post, wall, or similar, using the mounting accessory Bolt Base Protector.
The Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE is packaged in an all-in-one solution including an Ethernet RJ45 connector, radio modem, GPS tracker, and integrated dual antennas. The product can be powered through an Ethernet cable, i.e. Power over Ethernet, or via separate power terminals. Ethernet cables can be up to 100 meters long, enabling users to optimize the placement of Wireless Bolt LTE up to 100 meters from the connected industrial equipment. 

As the rugged all-in-one solution can be installed in an exposed location, there is no need for an external antenna or antenna cable to the Wireless Bolt LTE. This has both financial and practical benefits, as external antennas can be expensive, fragile, and very sensitive to interference.
The Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE is easy to set up and provides the possibility to remotely access the connected industrial machine or equipment for remote management purposes such as firmware upgrades, diagnostics, and configurations using a built-in web page or by sending REST commands via the Ethernet port. The communication link is initiated from the application connected to the Bolt LAN-port.
The Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE is packaged in an elegant and innovative form factor that blends in well, making it look like an integrated part of the installation.

 

 

 The Anybus Wireless Bolt LTE is available in both white and black. 

The white version is recommended in installations exposed to sunlight as it is verified for use in higher temperatures (up to +65°C/149°F).  

 

 

 

“The Wireless Bolt LTE combines the unique, robust form factor of our existing Wireless Bolt products with a high-speed internet connection, and this is opening up a lot of possible uses,” explains Martin Falkman Product Manager at HMS Networks. “The feedback from early adopters has been very positive. We get many comments about how easy it is to set up, and how all features make it very practical in the field. The fact that an external antenna is not required is very appreciated since users often face connectivity problems with external antennas - and sometimes they even get stolen. The built-in GPS tracker has been well received by the early adopters, and they also like that the same product can be used for both low bandwidth communication, such as MQTT, as well as connections that require more bandwidth such as firmware updates or video transmissions.”
