FreeWave ZumEdge

Smarter and Faster I/O Ethernet Radio

ZumEdge
ZumEdge is FreeWave’s newest Edge intelligence product and features I/O connectivity and easy installation and setup. It’s similar to our ZumLink Rugged 900 Series Ethernet Radio, but with extra features and functionality, and includes the IQ Application Environment. ZumEdge with an I/O module creates a direct sensor connection allowing you to access data in the field and make decisions quickly.

ZumEdge is ideal for industries that require sensor data capture and measurement in rugged, isolated, and potentially hazardous environments. ZumEdge allows you to automate decision making and use data infrastructure like MQTT and other third-party platforms to build smarter, faster, and more efficient networks without adding infrastructure or modifying systems.
Connect Analog and Digital IO Devices
Allows you to connect analog and digital IO devices directly to the IIoT network through IOEX expansion modules.
Configure up to 15 IOEX Modules
The ZumEdge configuration tool gives you the ability to quickly and easily configure up to 15 IOEX modules (up to 180 individual IOs, depending on the configuration).
Easily Configure Applications
The ZumEdge software implements a REST API, allowing you to easily configure applications that control and read IO over ethernet using an API.
The IQ Application Environment Comes Standard
ZumEdge comes standard with the FreeWave IQ Application Environment. Create on-board smart applications and make decisions on the Edge.
Self-Contained IO and Network Configuration Tool
The IO and network configuration tool is contained on the device and delivered as a web page for remote configuration – no extra software required.
ZumEdge Comes With the Z9 Radio Module
ZumEdge contains the Z9 Radio Module, making it over-the-air compatible with existing ZumLink networks and implements ZumLink network management software
DIN-Rail-Mountable Case
ZumEdge is housed in a DIN-Rail-Mountable case.
