Meet mPower™ Edge Intelligence
a new embedded software offering from MultiTech. This innovative new firmware builds on the popular MultiTech application enablement platform, to deliver programmability, network flexibility, enhanced security and manageability for scalable Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions.
mPower represents the unification and evolution of well-established MultiTech smart router and gateway firmware platforms. In addition to ongoing support of the current feature-sets, gateway customers can enjoy the additional security features currently available on the MultiConnect® rCell 100 Series
mPower Edge Intelligence simplifies integration with a variety of popular upstream IoT platforms to streamline edge-to-cloud data management and analytics, while also providing the programmability and processing capability to execute critical tasks at the edge of the network to reduce latency; control network and cloud services costs, and ensure core functionality – even in instances when network connectivity may not be available.
In response to evolving customer security requirements, mPower Edge Intelligence incorporates a host of new security features including signed firmware validation, enhanced firewall and VPN settings, secure authentication and more.
Industrial-Grade Security
mPower™ Edge Intelligence uses IPSec industry standard data encryption to provide high-performance, secure LAN-to-LAN VPN connections with 3DES or AES encryption using IKE and PSK key management for up to five concurrent VPN tunnels. Additionally a private, secure digital signature with integrity check update technique is now available, minimizing file damage, tampering or loading of invalid firmware. MultiTech signs and distributes firmware updates through a secure standard firmware distribution process and verifies the firmware signature before installation of the firmware for maximum device integrity.
