Billion's LTE ODU and M2M routers implemented in harsh environment for remote control in Japan
Jan 15, 2020
Billion Electric Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 3027, trading as Billion), a leading supplier of network communication equipment, has entered Japan with the company's award-winning BiPAC 4700 outdoor LTE and M2M routers series. The outdoor units are implemented in solar farms where the temperature can reach - 40°C. The project has helped one Japanese sizeable system integrator obtain streaming images and enable remote control over on-site instruments through advanced LTE technology in harsh and rural environments.
The Japanese firm has suffered from poor connectivity and a lack of robust networking solutions in the past several years. Billion provides M100, featuring industrial-level enclosure and high-performance LTE connection to overcome the challenge of managing the performance of multiple solar farm hardware devices. The Japanese client further leverages Billion's Central Management System so that all routers can be easily managed from different sites without the manual overhead to create easy and remote access for field engineers.
Billion flagship M2M router series, featuring single/dual LTE, VPN, RS-232/RS-485, and UL Class 1 Division 2 certification for explosion-proof, is specially designed for remote management and monitoring. Billion M2M routers use the LTE network as a transmission backbone to execute measurement between the control center and natural gas fields.
In addition, certified by EU E-Mark, Billion’s in-vehicle routers with dual LTE, Wi-Fi Hotspot and anti-vibration have been deployed for smart buses and police cars, providing superior high-performance, service reliability, and secure connectivity. In North America, Billion sells LTE products under the BEC brand to telecom channels and receives certification from Internet service providers (AT&T / Verizon / T-Mobile / Sprint). Now, BEC is one of the largest outdoor Fixed Wireless Broadband providers in the USA.
“Upon the entry of Japanese market, we are looking to invest more of our company’s resources into growing the market share by cooperating with Japanese ODM, system integrators, and distributor partners to expand our business opportunities in Japan,” Greg Chen says, the General Manager of Billion Electric Co. Ltd.
