Gateway
The LG90C is the Murata M2M family’s EV-DO Cellular Gateway for DNT90 900
MHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) based products, including the
SN90xx series sensor modems and the ZN-90M RS-485 serial modems. On the 900
MHz side, the LG90C’s DNT90 radio provides robust wireless communications. On
the cellular side, the LG24C utilizes a dual-band EV-DO modem. In between is the
intelligence to allow seamless integration of 900 MHz DNT90 based devices into
network or Internet cloud based applications. TCP/IP Internet protocol support
reduces the effort to tie LG90C networks into existing sensing and monitoring
applications. The LG90C gateway shares the same API as the other RFM2M
gateway products, letting you pick the wireless technology that best suits your
requirements with only a minimum of changes to your application.

The dual-band EV-DO cellular modem provides
3G connectivity through virtually any GSM
network, providing seamless integration of
DNT90 based remote devices, such as the
SN90R420, into network or Internet cloud
based applications.
LG90C Operation
The LG90C is a robust GPRS cellular gateway for
RFM’s DNT90 Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
(FHSS) radios. The LG90C’s DNT90 radio operates
in the 902 to 928 MHz ISM band, transmitting data
at 100 kbps with a power output of 40 or 158 mW
EIRP. The GPRS cellular modem provides gateway
connectivity in the 800, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz
GSM bands.
The LG90C includes support for TCP/IP, UDP,
ARP, ICMP and DHCP Ethernet protocols, plus
ModBus/TCP, HTTP Posts, SimpleDB and XML
Internet protocols. This wide array of protocol
support greatly reduces the effort to tie LG90C
networks into existing sensing and monitoring
applications.
The unit is packaged in a rugged aluminum enclosure, and ships with a universal wall-plug power
supply a 2 dBi 900 MHz dipole antenna, and a fourband GSM dipole antenna. The LG90C is also
compatible with RFM’s complete line of 900 MHz
antennas, allowing extended operating range where
allowed by local regulations.
ModBus/TCP support allows the LG90C gateway to
seamlessly deliver wirelessly collected sensor
readings using the ModBus/TCP standard protocol.
The LG90C in conjunction with DNT90-based
nodes provide a robust wireless data collection
network suitable for a wide range of ModBus
automation applications.
The switching regulators used in the LG90C support
a wide input voltage range, from +9 to +30 Vdc for
operation from battery-backed DC power sources.
LG90C gateways support point-to-point or point-tomultipoint networks, with store & forward range
extension capabilities for large site operations.
