Moxa Launches Dedicated 5G Cellular Gateway

moxa, a leader in industrial communications and networking, officially launched the CCG-1500 series of industrial 5G cellular gateways.

The CCG-1500 series of industrial 5G cellular gateways enables customers to deploy dedicated 5G networks in industrial applications and embrace the dividends of advanced technology.

The CCG-1500 series gateways provide 3GPP 5G connectivity for Ethernet and serial devices, simplifying the deployment of dedicated 5G networks in industrial applications such as AMR/AGV* in smart manufacturing and logistics, and unmanned truck fleets in the mining industry.

The CCG-1500 series gateways are ARM architecture interface and protocol converters with built-in 5G/LTE modules.

Created by Moxa in collaboration with industry partners, this series of industrial gateways combines a range of advanced skills and protocols.

It is compatible and interoperable with mainstream 5G RANs (Radio Access Networks) and 5G core networks supplied by vendors such as Ericsson, NEC, Nokia and others.

Enabling Easy OT to 5G Transition

The compact CCG-1500 series gateways feature 5G transmission speeds of up to 920 Mbps and serial/Ethernet to 5G functionality.

The CCG-1500 series gateways feature 5G transmission speeds of up to 920 Mbps and serial/Ethernet to 5G functionality, interconnecting OT networks with 5G systems to help transform and expand industrial operations.

The CCG-1500 series is also equipped with 2 Gigabit ports and 1 serial port to ensure stable network connectivity, and provides dual-carrier SIM card failover function to further enhance network reliability.

Many industrial IoT (IIoT) devices do not support cellular connectivity," said Ryan Teng, Moxa's Industrial Wireless Business Manager.

Many industrial IoT (IIoT) devices do not support cellular connectivity, such as sensors, controllers, IP cameras, and traditional terminals.

Moxa's low-power CCG-1500 series gateways backhaul Ethernet and serial traffic to a dedicated 5G cellular network, meeting the changing network requirements of industrial use while saving money and resources."

Fully Integrated into the 5G Ecosystem

Moxa has assembled a dedicated engineering team to work closely with the 5G ecosystem leaders to develop innovative 5G solutions and networking skills together, and to benchmark against the 3GPP 5G ecosystem.

Moxa also conducts module and system level testing against 3GPP 5G specifications. In addition, the team is utilizing Qualcomm Technologies' robust QXDM Professional capabilities to enhance 5G product development.

Seth Liu, vice president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies Asia Pacific and president of Qualcomm China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, said, "We're very pleased to be working with Qualcomm on this project.

The combination of Qualcomm Technologies and Moxa will be a powerful catalyst for IIoT development in Taiwan and beyond," said Stephen Liu, vice president of Qualcomm CDMA Skills Asia Pacific and president of Qualcomm China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

With our advanced modem and RF system skills and Moxa's strong track record in ruggedized 5G cellular gateway development, we will continue to work together to provide reliable connectivity for more industrial automation applications."

5G deployment achievements

With more than 20 dedicated 5G proof-of-concept (PoC) and proof-of-business (PoB) projects in direct markets such as manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics, our 5G deployment strength is evident," said Dr. David Chen, head of Moxa's research center.

The strength of our 5G deployment is evident to all. At present, we are promoting the deployment of dedicated 5G networks for industrial automation in the high-end manufacturing industry in an orderly manner.

With our deep OT expertise and proven experience, especially with the new CCG-1500 series gateways, Moxa is well positioned to capitalize on the new opportunities that will emerge in the future dedicated 5G mall."
