Owasys owa4X – Rugged Linux IoT Gateway

The Owasys owa4X is a rugged IoT gateway for vehicles and outdoor machines. It collects data from your machines and sensors, processes it on site and sends only the important information to Cumulocity.

Its waterproof housing protects it against dust and water. As a result, the owa4X works reliably on trucks, buses, construction sites and farms.

What You Can Do with the owa4X

• Manage vehicle fleets: Combine vehicle data with the current position for fleet dashboards and alarms.
