operating system. You can use the FX30S as a simple USB modem, but its full
potential is realized when you use it as an embedded cellular platform for IoT applications.
With RS232/RS485, USB, I/O interfaces, and IoT Expansion cards, the FX30S can
connect to many machines and infrastructures. The Linux-based Legato framework
enables you to use efficient low-level C programming to write IoT applications for any
connected machine.
The FX30S is also available as an Octave edge device. Octave is Sierra Wireless' all-in-
one edge-to-cloud solution for connecting industrial assets. See sierrawireless.com/
