Axiomtek – a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacture of a series of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency – is proud to announce the release of the EIO118, a rugged, full-size LTE Cat.4 and GNSS Mini PCIe card. Purpose-built for industrial applications across global deployments, including transportation, networking, renewable energy, and agriculture. The EIO118 offers exceptional remote management capabilities with its built-in self-health monitoring API, helping to reduce labor and maintenance costs while ensuring greater operational reliability.
Advanced Features and Advantages of EIO118 Designed for Logistics, Railway, Renewable Energy, and Smart Agriculture Applications
High-Speed Data Transmission with Integrated GNSS for Precision Tracking — Designed to meet the demands of data-intensive industrial and IoT applications, the EIO118 delivers LTE Cat.4 connectivity with download speeds of up to 150Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50Mbps. Its built-in GNSS functionality enables accurate, real-time location tracking, which is ideal for fleet management, railway systems, logistics monitoring, autonomous field scouting, and remote asset positioning.
Axiomtek’s Self-Health Monitoring API Enables Custom Remote Management — Beyond connectivity, the EIO118 includes Axiomtek’s Communication Manager API, which enables customers to develop their remote management functions. Users can implement real-time system health monitoring, anomaly detection, SIM card switching, and remote module rebooting by this API. This flexibility helps reduce maintenance efforts, minimizes on-site service, and streamlines software development for large-scale OT infrastructure.
SIM Card Switching for Cross-Border Mobility — To support uninterrupted connectivity in railway and cross-border logistics applications, the EIO118 allows switching between the SIM card on the module and the SIM card on the host system. Instead of physically removing and replacing the SIM card, customers can switch seamlessly through Axiomtek’s Communication Manager API with just a few clicks. This streamlines carrier transitions across national boundaries and enhances operational reliability with built-in network redundancy.
Ensuring Maximine Uptime with Automatic Recovery — A system reboot can resolve more than 80% of connectivity failures. The EIO118 features a built-in watchdog timer and automatic reboot functionality to address connectivity issues. This ensures uninterrupted operation and minimizes on-site maintenance visits, especially in remote or unmanned deployments.
Rugged and Ultra-Low Power Design, Ideal for Remote OT Devices — With an industrial-grade operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and storage tolerance up to +85°C, the EIO118 is built to withstand extreme outdoor conditions. Its ultra-low power consumption—less than 1W in standby mode—makes it ideal for energy-efficient, battery-powered systems deployed in agriculture, transportation, and renewable energy sectors.
Global Network Compatibility and Certification — The EIO118 supports a wide array of cellular standards, including LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, EVDO, CDMA, and GSM, ensuring compatibility with global telecom infrastructures. With multiple certifications—CE-RED, FCC, IC, TELEC—and approvals from major global carriers, the EIO118 accelerates time-to-market and simplifies international deployment.
"The EIO118 delivers unmatched flexibility and rugged performance for industrial wireless communication," said Violet Hsu, Product Manager at Axiomtek. "With its superior connectivity, high-speed LTE performance, extended temperature support, GNSS integration, and comprehensive remote management tools, the EIO118 empowers industries to achieve higher operational efficiency and faster deployment globally."
