Nexcom NISE 51-J3455 Intel Celeron J3455 Quad-Core Industrial IoT Gateway with Dual GbE and 4G Option

A Modbus gateway on a factory wall or in a street cabinet has a simple job, collecting from serial and Ethernet devices and forwarding the data, but it has to keep doing it through heat, cold and power dips. The NISE 51-J3455 is a Nexcom Industrial IoT Gateway for that work, with a quad-core Intel Celeron J3455 and a -10 °C to 60 °C rating. The NISE 51 is the same gateway with a Celeron N3350.

The Intel Celeron J3455 is an Apollo Lake processor with four cores. One DDR3L 1866 SO-DIMM socket takes up to 8 GB, and onboard 16 GB eMMC holds a Linux image, with up to 32 GB by request. An optional M.2 Key B 2242 SATA module adds storage, and Nexcom recommends M.2 storage for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise on the NISE 51-J3455.

The front panel carries two Intel I211-AT GbE ports with Wake on LAN, teaming and PXE, a DisplayPort output, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, a SIM card holder and three antenna holes. On the rear, COM1 and COM2 are full RS232 and COM3 is RS422/485 with auto flow control, suited to Modbus RTU beside Modbus TCP on the LAN ports. A mini-PCIe socket takes Wi-Fi, 3.5G or 4G LTE, an M.2 Key A socket takes Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and an M.2 Key B 3042 socket takes LTE on the NISE 51-J3455.

This Industrial IoT Gateway runs from 12 V or 24 V DC at plus or minus 10 percent and is rated from -10 °C to 60 °C with airflow, with 50 G shock and 2 Grms vibration ratings. The metal fanless case measures 162 x 150 x 26 mm, four GPI and four GPO are internal, and it carries CE and FCC Class A approval.
