Flexible Thread roles within your network
GL-S20 can seamlessly operate as a Thread Border router or a Thread router. This functionality offers added flexibility to your IoT setup and adapts to your ever-evolving IoT needs, whether it's to extend the network reach or connect to external networks.
Ease of installation with support for PoE
By integrating Power over Ethernet (PoE), GL-S20 transmits power and data over a single ethernet cable. You’ll have power to more areas without having to install additional electrical infrastructure—saving on extra costs in the long run.
Your pathway to a scalable IoT network
Manage and control all your IoT devices effortlessly with GL-S20, the ultimate solution for building a robust, scalable network for all your IoT devices. GL-S20 when used as a Thread Border router bridges your LAN network and other GL-S20s functioning as Thread routers seamlessly. GL-S20’s self-healing capability ensures a resilient network infrastructure, even in the face of network disruptions. In case one of the Thread routers fails unexpectedly, the network reconfigures automatically using a neighboring Thread router, ensuring your connection remains rock-solid at all times.
Built on FreeRTOS
GL-S20 runs on the reputable kernel FreeRTOS, the de facto standard for microcontrollers and small microprocessors. FreeRTOS is well-supported by a broad community, offering exceptional customization capabilities with add-on libraries that are ever-growing.
ESP32 Series chipsets
GL-S20 is powered by ESP32-S3 and ESP32-H2 chipset. While ESP32-H2 acts as the radio co-processor, ESP32-S3 serves as the main chip, designed provide enhanced capacity for expanding your IoT network. It also boasts ultra-low power consumption and steadfast performance in industrial environments.
Flexible Installation
Included in the GL-S20 package is a wall mount kit, making it effortless to mount on the wall. The GL-S20, with its lightweight and compact design in a sleek white color, can seamlessly fit into any space. This feature not only frees up surface area but also ensures exceptional coverage and uninterrupted connectivity for your IoT devices.
