Products
A0 IoT Gateway
Swiss knife for wireless IoT. The A0 is powered by ESP32-C6 RISC-V (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, 802.15.4 for Thread/Zigbee) with secure boot, flash encryption and TEE. It runs Zephyr RTOS. Radio/cellular connectivity is added via plug-in expansion modules on the A0 BUS1/BUS2 slots — SIM7080G (NB-IoT/LTE-M + GNSS), WMBUS (Wireless M-Bus metering), and sub-GHz E07-400M10S (400 MHz).
Key Features
- Multi-Protocol Support: Wireless M-Bus, NB-IoT, LTE-M, Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5, and 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee), plus sub-GHz
- Low Power: Ultra-low power design with USB-C, external supply, and battery with charging support
- Modular Design: A0 Base Board with 2 expansion slots (BUS1/BUS2) for plug-in radio/cellular modules
- Open Source: Apache 2.0 license with full documentation
- Professional Support: Commercial support from Abstract Machines
