Ordering Guidelines
- For quantities of up-to 20 gateways, we recommend ordering through Compulab Webshop. I/O modules should be ordered as separate items.
- For quantities of over 20 gateways, it is recommended to order with our Sales Team.Gateways and I/O modules can be ordered as ready stacks to be pre-assembled at Compulab.
- For initial testing and development, we recommend ordering the IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS STARTER KIT that includes the gateway and useful accessories such as AC PSU and cellular antenna.
