Robustel EV8100-B elevator voice gateway
The Robustel EV8100-B is an advanced gateway specifically designed for elevator systems. It combines several devices into one, functioning as a cellular router with Wi-Fi support and a two-way voice communicator utilising VoIP and VoLTE technology. The EV8100-B offers expanded interfaces and enables remote monitoring and management of elevator communication systems. This allows for rapid and efficient troubleshooting and is designed for global deployment.
Comprehensive Connectivity and FXS Interface Support
The gateway is equipped with RS232, RS485, and CAN bus interfaces, ensuring seamless communication between the mobile network and the elevator's intercom system. Furthermore, modern standards such as Wi-Fi (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.2, and Docker support allow for easy deployment of custom applications within a containerised environment.
With its FXS interface for plug-and-play connection of analogue devices and dual-SIM failover support, the device serves as a full-scale replacement for landlines in areas where traditional infrastructure is unavailable or being phased out.
Typical Use Cases
The EV8100 voice gateway represents a robust security solution for modern buildings. To ensure maximum reliability, it features an integrated battery that keeps the system operational for up to 2 hours during a power outage.
- Elevator Systems: Ensuring reliable voice communication in full compliance with EN81-28 and AS1735 standards.
- IoT Connectivity: Secure monitoring of elevators via mobile networks. In one compact unit, the gateway integrates voice services with remote diagnostics, alarms, and data telemetry.
- PSTN/POTS Replacement: An ideal solution for modernising critical infrastructure. It replaces legacy lines with 4G VoIP/VoLTE technology, suitable for intercoms, alarm systems, kiosks, or remote voice points in transport and utility networks.
Operating System
The device runs on the RobustOS Pro operating system, based on the Debian 11 Linux distribution. This platform ensures full support for containerization via Docker, providing a streamlined way to deploy custom applications.
Industrial Network Security
The EV8100 is built for operation in extreme conditions. It provides secure connectivity with various VPN options, including IPsec and OpenVPN. The Smart Roaming feature ensures a continuous connection even when moving between cellular towers, which is crucial for mobile applications.
Centralized Management with RCMS
For maximum operational efficiency, the EV8100 gateway is fully integrated with the Robustel Cloud Manager Service (RCMS). This cloud-based platform enables remote management, monitoring, and diagnostics of network devices, significantly minimizing operational costs.
