Overview

RAVENXTG AirLink GPRS Cellular Digital Modem

Note that AT&T is actively working on discontinuing 2G service, making the RavenXTG unusable in some areas.

The RAVENXTG does not have a direct replacement. However, the LS300G offers similar functionality with a higher power consumption. 

The RavenXTG is a 2G cellular gateway for AT&T and GPRS networks. The RavenXTG has an RS-232 serial interface for configuration and deployment with Campbell Scientific data loggers and peripherals.

Internet Connectivity

The RavenXTG provides Internet connectivity to any of our data loggers located within range of a compatible cellular network. With Internet connectivity, a data logger can transmit data to, and be remotely administered by, Campbell Scientific software. The RavenXTG can also enable many data loggers to communicate using other Internet protocols, such as email and web (HTTP).

Device Intelligence

The RavenXTG is powered by Sierra Wireless’s ALEOS® embedded operating system. This allows the RavenXTG to provide highly reliable connectivity and remote device management independent of the device it is connected to. The embedded applications include IP serial server and client, local PPP host, dynamic DNS client, performance monitoring, IPsec VPN, and GRE tunneling.
