Gecco – A modular programmable IoT interface unit
A modular interface unit that meets the needs of the new generation of technology for alerting, remote control, and remote monitoring in the PPDR system environment.
GECCO enables the required functionalities in both fixed installations and vehicles. As technology and operational needs evolve, GECCO keeps up with the development.
With the GECCO interface unit, you can:
- Alert
- Remote control
- Monitor
- Interconnect
Versatile connections and features
- Extremely versatile connections, features and programmability
- Developed especially for use in PPDR operational environment
- Allows use of legacy and new systems in parallel
- The modular basic structure ensures longevity and cost-effectiveness,
from simple basic use cases to demanding system applications - High-quality Finnish design and production
From basic functions to demanding applications – customized for your needs
Python-based configuration enables highly efficient maintenance and device customization for various purposes. With expert design, we have ensured a foundation that provides flexibility for maintenance and further development.
The modularity of the GECCO interface unit ensures the replacement of changing components such as modem circuits with newer ones. The lightweight basic assembly works in simple and cost-effective applications. With option modules, the unit can be easily expanded for more demanding applications.
