The Lantronix NTC-222 (MPN NTC-222-01-01) is a 4G LTE Category 1 industrial IoT router from the NTC-220 Series, formerly NetComm Industrial IoT. This is the Europe, Middle East and Africa model. Its LTE bands are B1, B3, B5, B7, B8 and B20, so it is intended for EMEA networks rather than US carriers. For US deployments, Lantronix offers the NTC-224 for AT&T and T-Mobile and the NTC-225 for Verizon. Lantronix publishes CE and UKCA declarations of conformity for this model. The router is built for machines rather than people. It has one 100Base-T Ethernet port and a DB-9 serial port that switches in software between 9-wire RS232 and RS485/RS422, with software-controlled termination. The I/O terminal block adds three multipurpose I/O pins. These pins handle NAMUR sensor input, 0-30V analogue input, digital input and open collector output. A Micro USB 2.0 OTG port can connect local storage. Modbus RTU/ASCII and a Modbus TCP/IP gateway supporting up to 247 slaves let it bridge legacy field equipment onto IP networks. For vehicles and mobile assets, the NTC-222 adds: • An ignition input • A wide 8-40V DC supply range with ISO7637 vehicle protection • GNSS covering GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS • An operating range of -40°C to +70°C For security, it supports IPSec (up to 5 tunnels), OpenVPN, GRE and PPTP. VRRP is available for redundant failover. Remote management covers HTTPS web UI, SSH CLI, SNMP v1/v2/v3, TR-069, LWM2M and SMS, including over-the-air firmware upgrades. The Linux-based Lantronix OS and SDK let integrators build custom applications in C, Shell or LUA. Lantronix provides a product brief, user guide, quick start guide and software developer guide for the NTC-220 Series.
