Kontron introduces the new AL i.MX8M Mini LTE: IoT gateway with LTE Cat1 module

Robust Linux computer with multiple communication interfaces and the highest security standards

Ismaning, Germany, Mai 6, 2025 – Kontron, a leading global supplier of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), is expanding its automation line with the AL i.MX8M Mini LTE model. Based on the powerful Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 and Cortex^®-M4 processors, this intelligent gateway complements Kontron's existing range of DIN-rail Linux computers.
 
The AL i.MX8M Mini LTE features a rugged housing and extensive communication interfaces, making it ideal for demanding control tasks as well as mobile and wireless IoT solutions. An outstanding feature is the integrated LTE Cat1 module, which ensures a reliable and fast connection for IoT applications. This functionality provides an excellent alternative when it is not possible to integrate the device into the company's own network.
 
In today's connected world, cybersecurity is critical. The AL i.MX8M Mini LTE comes standard with the secure hardened Linux®-based KontronOS operating system for edge devices. KontronOS offers two redundant OS partitions for maximum availability and a secure management interface for updates and deployment. This means that the system already meets the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which defines strict regulations for the security of IoT devices.
 
As a ManagedEdge IoT bundle, the device is also available in combination with KontronGrid, a comprehensive IoT device management solution for edge devices. This IoT-bundle enables secure management and monitoring of devices worldwide and supports features such as container management and secure remote access.
 
With the addition of the AL i.MX8M Mini LTE to the Automation Line, Kontron offers a flexible and secure solution for IoT applications.
 
First customer samples will be available in Q2/2025.
