This Flexy extension card increase the connectivity capability of the Ewon Flexy with a LTE (4G) modem for APAC region.
Many field-based applications do not have access to a wired Internet connection, instead requiring cellular connectivity. Using a 4G cellular connection provides the advantages of innovation and cutting edge technology and can sometimes be the only cellular connectivity in a remote area.
The 4G LTE Flexy extension card addresses these requests while allowing an Ewon Flexy to connect to the Internet. For remote access requirements, a simple SIM card with data plan is all that is needed to connect to the Talk2M cloud-based solution. Similarly for SCADA-like applications, secure remote VPN connectivity can also benefit from this simple SIM card without the burden of provisioning a fixed IP address on the remote site.
It is compatible with the Ewon Flexy 10x series, 20x series and 205. Only the reception of “wakeup SMS” — for the Talk2M wakeup feature — is supported for this 4G APAC extension card.

Important note on SMS feature - The modem component used in the FLB 3209 - 4G (APAC) extension card does not allow multiple concurrent accesses to its communication port. Therefore, the Ewon Flexy cannot perform a data connection (for its VPN tunnel to Talk2M) and send/receive SMS at the same time. For this reason, the SMS feature has been disabled on the FLB 3209 - 4G (APAC) extension card.
