The Eurotech Helios™ edge controller provides a flexible and programmable
hardware platform with enhanced wireless connectivity that enables simplified
data acquisition and integration. The Helios edge controller is used to collect
data from distributed devices, monitors and sensors; aggregate and rationalize
disparate data; and transmit the information to a central processing center.
With the Helios platform, you can quickly and simply create an edge controller
device, loaded with your application software that precisely meets the needs
of your target customers.
The Helios platform offers Four Degrees of Flexibility – programmability,
hardware, software, and connectivity. Connectivity choices mean you can
select pre-certified wireless modules for cellular, Bluetooth, WiFi and others
depending upon technology or carrier preferences.
The programmable Helios device offers Everyware Software Framework (ESF),
a simple to use set of APIs enabling you to implement the latest technologies
with ease. Hardware flexibility lets you choose the initial device options based
on the specs you need to meet, including processor speed, memory capacity,
temperature range and video display.
Additionally, Helios supports the Everyware Device Cloud (EDC), the end-to-end
Solution connecting data from distributed devices to business applications.
Software options include Microsoft Embedded Standard, CE 6.0 or Wind River
Linux 3.0 operating systems.
Start with the Helios platform from Eurotech, and you are well on your way
to creating an industrial-grade application device that you can take to market
quickly.
