1: Introduction to the FX30

The Sierra Wireless®FX30, a small, rugged, programmable Internet of Things (IoT)

gateway, runs the secure Legato®Application Framework, and a long-term support

Linux®operating system. You can use the FX30 as a simple USB modem, but its full

potential is realized when you use it as an embedded cellular platform for IoT applications.

With Ethernet, USB, I/O interfaces, and IoT Expansion cards, the FX30 can connect to

many machines and infrastructures. The Linux-based Legato framework enables you to

use efficient low-level C programming to write IoT applications for any connected

machine.

The FX30 is also available as an Octave edge device. Octave is Sierra Wireless' all-in-one

edge-to-cloud solution for connecting industrial assets. See sierrawireless.com/octave/

devices for more information.
