The SLN-IOT-GPI is a complete development platform for building secure IoT systems. It offers a
pre-integrated configuration for hardware, software, connectivity, security, cloud services and NFC
commissioning for popular IoT use cases. This solution platform speeds time-to-market, reduces
risks associated with wireless connectivity and saves development costs in demanding commercial
installations of large node networks (LNNs).
SLN-IOT-GPI: Integrated Development
Experience for IoT Systems
OVERVIEW
The SLN-IOT-GPI Integrated Development Experience
(IDEx) combines the NXP Modular IoT Gateway supporting
simultaneous ZigBee and Thread connectivity controlled by
the energy efficient i.MX6UL processor and a Modular Edge
Node controlled by a wireless SoC.
The optimized hardware is supported with pre-integrated
production-ready Linux® and FreeRTOS-based BSPs. Out-of-
the-box low-power wireless mesh connectivity, NFC-based
commissioning and state-of-the-art security capabilities
provide a solutions platform that is ideal for connected
applications which need to combine management and control
of large node networks with cloud connectivity.
Edge nodes can exchange data with the gateway through
ZigBee or Thread and the gateway delivers data to the
cloud over Ethernet or Wi-Fi
®
. An Android or iOS phone app
enables users to easily set up their system, then monitor and
control the edge nodes.
The provided level of hardware and software modularity
offers developers the flexibility required to quickly build and
iterate a range of potential IoT use-case-specific applications
leveraging various configurations.

SIMPLIFIED NFC COMMISSIONING FOR LARGE NODE
NETWORKS
Commercial installations with thousands of nodes can
leverage the built-in secure NFC tap-to-connect capabilities
through the gateway. Using a smartphone application, end
nodes can be quickly and securely commissioned to the
network, even when the device that is being installed is not
powered, which is common in smart buildings and industries,
smart connected cities, oil and gas fields and agriculture
installations.
