Moxa Europe GmbH has launched its next-generation 64-bit Arm-based computers, the UC-3400A and UC-4400A Series, with dual-wireless, 5G/LTE, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for robust industrial IoT (IIoT) applications.
Built around an Arm® Cortex-A53 quad-core processor and featuring dual-wireless connectivity, these computers are strictly tested to ensure reliable RF performance and deliver exceptional performance in IIoT applications.
With the rapid growth of wireless connectivity in industrial settings, businesses are integrating 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi 6 technologies to improve operational efficiency and real-time data exchange. However, the increase in wireless devices complicates connectivity management, security, and performance optimization. Moxa addresses these challenges with new 64-bit Arm-based computers featuring a quad-core processor, dual-wireless connectivity, simplified development software, IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 compliance, and a 10-year OS maintenance plan with security updates. These computers optimize energy efficiency and performance, allowing customers to reliably scale their IIoT applications.
“Moxa is continuously investing in wireless technology, including Wi-Fi, Cellular, and 5G, to ensure reliable connectivity to the cloud for edge-computing devices, even in harsh industrial environments. Dual wireless connectivity ensures uninterrupted data transmission, maximising productivity in IIoT applications” Ryan Teng, Head of Industrial Wireless and Arm-based Computer Segment.
The UC-4400A Series, Moxa’s first 5G Arm-based computer with ultra-low latency, high connection-interface density, and enhanced reliability, empowers real-time data processing and connects the highest number of devices to industrial applications. Expansion modules for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity improve bandwidth and significantly reduce interference, enabling faster data transmission. Moreover, Moxa’s partnership with Qualcomm for the Qualcomm Extended Diagnostics Monitor (QXDM) offers advanced log analysis and troubleshooting support to further enhance the quality of wireless connections.
The UC-3400A and UC-4400A Series provide the benefit of dual wireless connectivity by integrating cellular and Wi-Fi capabilities into a single device. This integration ensures connection redundancy, maintaining continuous operations even if one connection fails. The Moxa Connection Manager (MCM) utility facilitates seamless failover between cellular and Wi-Fi, which enhances system reliability. As a result, these computers are ideal for critical industrial applications that demand uninterrupted data transmission. Additionally, load balancing can optimise data traffic across both connections, further maximising network performance and efficiency.
The IIoT computers have received global testing and certification for UL, FCC, CE, and RCM, in addition to being certified by North American carriers PTCRB, AT&T, and Verizon (with the UC-4400A expected to earn certification in Q2 2025). Furthermore, the UC-3400A Series has undergone testing for ATEX and CID2 requirements in hazardous environments, with expectations for certification in Q2 2025. These certifications guarantee seamless and secure data transmission across various industrial environments and regions.
Designed for harsh conditions, the UC-3400A and UC-4400A computers can operate in the -40 to +70°C temperature range with wireless capabilities. The computers are ideal for applications in the distributed energy resources, industrial automation, and oil and gas sectors. With a 5-year product warranty and 10-year OS support, these products are built for long-term reliability.
The UC-3400A and UC-4400A computers, with Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL3) and compliance with IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 requirements, can save users several months of development time on security features. The secure operating system includes Secure Boot, a built-in security mechanism that ensures edge computers boot only from validated and authorised bootloader and operating system. A Hardware Root of Trust, a hardware-based chain-of-trust validation sequence, safeguards the Secure Boot process and software updates, preventing unauthorised access to the system.
