Reliable Wired OOB Connectivity

Ethernet

Ethernet connection is the most traditional and widely used method for network connectivity. It offers 10/100 speeds, ensuring stable and reliable communication, particularly for environments that require wired connections.

Ideal For:
  • Environments requiring stable and reliable wired connections for critical OOB management, particularly for stationary devices.
  • Retail, manufacturing, and on-premises environments with critical connectivity needs.
Use Case 1: Retail Management with Wired OOB Access
  • The Allxon out-of-band solution with Ethernet connection enables remote monitoring and troubleshooting for AI Customer Traffic Monitoring systems, ensuring continuous operation without on-site visits.
Use Case 2: On-Premises Environment Monitoring
  • Ethernet connection provides reliable out-of-band access to devices running mission-critical operations in production, ensuring stable connectivity for consistent performance monitoring.
02

OOB Access for Remote and Outdoor Areas

4G LTE

Designed for outdoor and hard-to-reach deployments, Allxon’s OOB Enabler supports Quectel EC21, EC25, and EG25-G modules for 4G LTE connectivity. This independent 4G network ensures that the edge device and OOB Enabler are using separate networks.

Ideal For:
  • Indoor:

    • Locations with unstable Wi-Fi, where 4G LTE ensures uninterrupted OOB access.

    • Locations requiring independent, and isolated OOB networks separate from the device network.

  • Outdoor:

    • Remote or outdoor areas without wired infrastructure.

Use Case 1: Smart Addressing Lack of Wired Infrastructure in Smart Agriculture:
  • In remote farming areas without wired infrastructure, 4G LTE provides continuous connectivity for IoT devices, enabling reliable OOB management.
Use Case 2: : Achieving Independent OOB Network in Smart Retail:
  • In retail environments, the OOB Enabler uses an independent 4G LTE network, ensuring device management is separated from the store's primary network for true OOB management.

 

03

Flexible OOB Connectivity for Mobility

Wi-Fi

Allxon’s OOB Enabler supports Wi-Fi, reducing the need for physical cabling and providing wireless access for devices that move within environments and cannot rely on fixed, wired networks. With dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) support, Wi-Fi offers flexible, reliable connectivity for OOB management.

Ideal For:
  • Smart retail, manufacturing, and warehouse environments with Edge AI devices that require wireless OOB management.
  • Locations where deploying Ethernet cables is impractical or challenging.
Use Case 1: Eliminating Physical Cabling in AI-Driven Environments
  • In smart retail and warehouses, Wi-Fi replaces the need for extensive cabling, allowing seamless OOB management of AI devices without costly infrastructure setups.
Use Case 2: Managing Moving Devices in Dynamic Environments
  • For moving AI-powered devices like robots or automated systems, Wi-Fi allows continuous OOB management, supporting device movement without the constraints of fixed network connections.
04

Single Ethernet Cable OOB Management

NC-SI

The Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) allows OOB management using just one Ethernet connection, eliminating the need to pull an extra cable for the OOB network. NC-SI communicates directly with the network interface controller (NIC), enabling OOB management through the same LAN port already used by the device.

Ideal For:
  • Environments where adding extra network cables is difficult due to infrastructure limitations.
  • Projects with budget constraints where pulling new network cables for OOB would increase costs.
Use Case 1:  Avoiding Additional Network Cabling in Existing Deployments
  • In environments with existing network setups, pulling extra cables for OOB is challenging. NC-SI allows OOB access through the existing Ethernet connection without altering the current infrastructure.
Use Case 2: Managing OOB on a Tight Budget
  • In projects with limited budgets, adding a new network cable for OOB can increase costs. NC-SI provides OOB manageability through the device’s existing LAN port, avoiding extra cabling expenses.
05

Cost-Effective Redundant OOB Network

4G Network Sharing

Allows sharing the OOB 4G network to the device that the OOB is connected to via an Ethernet connection. This not only acts as a redundant network for the device when its primary network is down, but can also provide cost savings by using a single 4G SIM card for connectivity.

Ideal For:
  • Sites requiring a redundant network for critical devices when the primary network is down.
  • Locations needing cost-effective OOB solutions by using one 4G SIM card.
Use Case 1: Redundant Network for Smart Traffic Flow Systems
  • In smart traffic flow systems, Network Sharing via a 4G Module ensures OOB access to critical devices during network outages, offering a cost-effective redundant solution using a single 4G SIM card.
Use Case 2: Reducing Costs in Smart Vending Machines
  • For smart vending machines, Network Sharing via a 4G Module offers OOB management while saving costs, especially in locations where 4G networks are expensive, by using a single SIM for both OOB and device connectivity.
